My name is Anne Cruz, I am the Global Head, Open Account Trade and Risk Distribution Operations, Standard Chartered Bank, Hong Kong.

Services for non resident are at a different cost level.I had the same problem as you but from Hong Kong where withholding is 30%.Given Canadian tax treaty with US, it seems to me that any Corp or Limited Partnership distribution to its foreign members resident in Canada will be 15%.

The short answer is, it seems to me that it depends on the territoriality of the tax basis of you country.Some countries like US, France tax their fiscal resident (resp US person) on their worldwide income, so it seems preferable for french to set up the LLC as corp, and pay dividend to owner (not sure what happens if it is a partnership).Some countries like Hong Kong tax their fiscal residents on their territorial income only.

Jimmy Hong No, your standard insurance policy will cover a tornado.

It's definitely possible to find success investing from abroad, and a lot of people have certainly found success in doing so, especially my family and friends in Hong Kong (with housing prices there notoriously unaffordable).

We're working with an investor from Hong Kong that took advice from agents to do this on 7 properties.
