In the United States, it is possible to purchase real estate either as an individual or in the name of a corporation. The LLC is the most commonly used corporate form in this context.
Creating an LLC to invest in U.S. real estate protects investors by separating their U.S. real estate investments from their French assets. This structure offers invaluable protection in the event of litigation.
Rental real estate in the United States is very attractive, thanks to its advantageous tax system and protection for landlords against defaulters. To invest in the U.S. market, it is necessary to set up an LLC and open a U.S. bank account in the company's name.
You can be the sole owner and manager of the LLC, or share it with partners. This legal structure is highly recommended if you own several properties of significant value, because of its ease of management.

The LLC is the most commonly adopted corporate form in the United States, offering a hybrid legal structure that combines the advantages of a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) and a SCI (Société Civile Immobilière).
Investing in U.S. real estate via an LLC has the advantage of transferring the risk of civil liability from the individual to the legal entity. Investors owning an LLC thus seek to create a protective barrier between their personal assets and their real estate investments.
As far as taxation is concerned, an American LLC is considered fiscally transparent by the French tax authorities. If you are a French tax resident, it is advisable to take advantage of professional assistance to declare your U.S. income correctly.
The administrative costs associated with creating, renewing and accounting for the LLC must be taken into account. A thorough understanding of these costs is essential, as they will have an impact on the net income generated by the rental.
To ensure that your interests are protected, we strongly recommend that you are accompanied by a qualified professional.
The LLC offers protection to partners by separating their personal assets from those of the partnership, making it difficult to access partners' personal assets in the event of legal action. However, it is important to keep LLC records and assets separate to maintain this protection.
Creating an LLC also protects the investor's personal assets in the event of litigation involving the company, offering an additional layer of security.
By opting for an LLC, foreign investors can benefit from enhanced confidentiality and asset protection. U.S. assets can be housed in an LLC, whose name can be distinguished from the partners by a generic name.
What's more, the list of properties held by an LLC is not publicly disclosed in the U.S., and in some states, the name of the LLC's manager does not have to be revealed. This structure therefore offers individual LLC owners protection against any liability claims relating to the company's real estate assets or activities.
