Nothing said on the podcast should be construed as legal advice. Each situation is unique and requires thorough analysis of the facts and circumstances. If you are interested in investing in U.S. real estate, Ingenuity Counsel can help you determine the proper structure, taking into account liability protection, tax consequences, lender requirements, closing process, and corporate compliance, among other things. Please do not hesitate to contact our office by phone at 519-252-3888 or by email to mk@ingenuitycounsel.com
In addition to setting up real estate structures, we set up structures for operating business in the manufacturing, greenhouse, food & hospitality, construction, interior design, communication, accounting, financial services, and fitness industries, among others. We also provide U.S. immigration services, such as E-2 investor, E-2 trader, and L-1A intra company transfer visas; sales & acquisitions of businesses; estate planning; probate & estate administration; and general contract and commercial advice.
