US Tax advice

Hi all,

I know this topic frequently comes up although I am rather frustrated with 'US tax specialist' unable to provide answers with regards to the best method for myself to set up my structure prior to forming an LLC.
 
I have been in contact with a US attorney who will assist me with the LLC set up (I am purchasing in NY) although has suggested I speak to a tax specialist and get my structure set up to maximise tan benefits etc. Anyways, 1 US tax expert just told me to go ahead with LLC set up under my name and we'll deal with tax issues when tax returns are due. The other specialist I spoke with did not know anything about NY LLC laws and regulations and i found myself providing him with the information I simply found on the NY tax laws website. The 3rd person i spoke to was going to charge me $15,000 for their advice (i got recommended to this company by a friend – I was unaware they deal with large businesses and can afford to charge this much!) 

After learning that it generally takes a min of 2 weeks for these people to respond to emails, 8 weeks has gone by and I am still in no mans land. The questions I am seeking revolve around what should the LLC come under – my name, trust or business. Or more specifically the 3 questions are below;

(1) If there is $100 worth of net rental income on a USA property owned by the LLC what Federal, State and Local and City Taxes would be applied so I can determine my after tax return?

(2) If the LLC was to remit a dividend to (name) in Australia what US withholding tax would be applied?  If so would it be a final tax in the US?

(3) If either an Australian resident company or a discretionary trust purchases the USA property can you please apply questions 1 and 2 above in this ownership context.

Can anyone help me out?
