Thanks for that Cococam,
I’ll be calling HSBC straight away tomorrow morning to confirm this. If so then I may as well cancel my account with them.

Hey Rick, that bank seems to be based in Florida. Did you buy in Florida?

Jason,
I’ve got an HSBC account. The 3 months is a necessity, so just open your account today if your not needing it right now and in 3 months you’ll be able to get one possibly. I was told that is on a case by case scenario. Hope that helps. I currently have not had my account for 3 months yet so I cant let you know how easy it is.

great info scout!
Just quickly did you set up a bank a/c when you were over there linked to your LLC? Or have you done all that from here?
I’ve just been into HSBC but for a bank a/c in personal name and you have to open an a/c with them here first and hold it for 3 months before they will open an a/c from here in the US. Slightly frustrating….

Basically I don’t want to do it unless they can claim it as a tax deduction or get something out of it. How to make a paper trial? There has to be some way around this.

Thanks Terryw,
No one in my family has ever had Centrelink so I doubt that will affect me/us?
Yeah you pretty much sussed out what I was thinking there with the LOC as they don’t have it handy.
Do you have any idea how this would work though? Claim the Oz loan directly on the US property? Claim the loans here in Oz as a deduction? Shady waters…[Read more]
