Own a share of U.S. real estate — from India.
Indian residents can invest abroad under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Aasthi is building a way to hold an interest in U.S. rental property through a property LLC — with clear documents, costs and risks up front.
No U.S. offering is open today. Joining the list is not an application or an eligibility decision.

How it would work
Five steps from India to a U.S. property interest.
Step 1
Check your eligibility
Complete identity and eligibility checks for the specific offering. A preliminary interest form does not decide eligibility.
Step 2
Choose a property
Review the property, sponsor, business plan, fees, risks and the offering documents before deciding.
Step 3
Remit under LRS
Your bank sends INR → USD to the issuer's U.S. account after you submit Form A2 and the LRS declaration. Your bank may ask for more.
Step 4
Receive your ownership interest
You sign the subscription documents and are recorded as holding an interest in the property LLC.
Step 5
Reporting and any distributions
Receive reports and tax forms. Any distributions or sale proceeds depend on the offering documents and actual performance.
What you would own
You hold an interest in an LLC — not a deed.
Each property is expected to sit in its own LLC. Investors hold interests in that LLC alongside other co-investors, while a sponsor and operator manage the property. Tap any box to see who does what.
Illustrative. Actual structure is defined in each offering's documents.

Tax in two countries
How tax may work in the U.S. and India.
Income and gains from U.S. property can be taxed in both countries. The India–U.S. Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) generally lets you claim credit in India for U.S. tax paid.
| When | United States | India |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving rental distributions | U.S. tax or withholding may apply at the property or investor level, depending on the structure and filings. | Indian residents are taxed on worldwide income. Credit for U.S. tax paid may be available under the India–U.S. DTAA. |
| While you hold | The LLC files U.S. returns. You may receive U.S. tax forms depending on the structure. | Report foreign assets and income in your ITR (including Schedule FA). |
| When the property is sold | FIRPTA withholding may apply on the sale of U.S. real property interests. | Capital gains are taxable in India; holding period affects treatment. |
| Claiming credit | Keep records of U.S. tax withheld or paid. | Foreign tax credit is generally claimed with Form 67, filed with your return. |
