Entity Structure and Tax Strategies for Foreign Investors of US Real Estate

Partnering with other investors opens new possibilities by combining resources for larger and more lucrative investments. Many of these potential partners are from outside the US, and are attracted to the strong US real estate market, but there are many complex legal considerations and tax traps to consider.

I have International Tax Attorney and Partner at Culhane Meadows, Patrick McCormick, to help us understand what we can do to properly structure a compliant and tax efficient entity for the investment activity. Together we will discuss the basics of entity planning and tax strategies to ensure the best outcomes for you and your international partners. Areas we discuss are:

FIRPTA Withholdings
Estate taxes
Capital gains taxes
FBRAR Income
Cost segregation and depreciation
Dividend and branch taxes
