@Roy N. I do not believe we have any strategies in the book that a foreign investor of US real estate would be excluded from. However, please note that the foreign taxpayers arena is not my personal expertise. Hope this helps! =)

@Roy N.the book focus on strategies for the US tax law so although it doesn't discuss foreign matters, it may be helpful to those foreign investors who have US properties.

wine, beer, cocktails...all should be deductible if you are at the RE dinner.

My suggestion is documentation documentation documentation. Emails to show your plan to have this meeting over at your house and an agenda of what you guys will cover. Generally meals and entertainment is 50% deductible but if it is something available to the general public it can be 100% deductible. (ie; allowing anyone in the public into your home to learn about your RE deals) Not sure that is safe to do of course in terms of letting strangers into your home...

Yes you can use funds from multiple people to fund your deals if they are all going to be passive investors. One thing to look out for if you are flipping is that there may potentially be UBIT taxes if it is considered an active business. There could be ways around that so be sure to speak with your tax advisor (or have your investors speak with their tax advisors) before pulling the trigger. I also agree with the comment above on uDirect IRA Services....they have been wonderful to work.
