Why a Georgia LLC specifically: Georgia is a favourable state for real estate LLCs — low annual fees ($50 registration renewal), straightforward operating agreement requirements, and compatible with DSCR lender requirements. We do not form LLCs in other states for Georgia properties.

Tenant placement: 50–100% of one month's rent (one-time, when tenant placed)
Lease renewal fee: ~$100–$200
REIGPlus oversight fee: 1–1.5% of property value per year, charged quarterly.
Example: On a $172,000 Augusta property renting at $1,240/month:
PM fee: $124/month (10%)
REIGPlus oversight: ~$143/month (1% annual / 12)
Tenant placement: 50–100% of one month's rent (one-time, when tenant placed)
Lease renewal fee: ~$100–$200
REIGPlus oversight fee: 1–1.5% of property value per year, charged quarterly.

You can request a PM partner change at any time — we manage the transition.
06
Exit & profit repatriation
Managed sale, FIRPTA handling, and net proceeds to your account
3% selling commissionFIRPTA: 15% gross withheld
+
What we manage
- Market timing assessment and listing recommendation
- Property listed through Homes by Tameka (MLS access)
- Marketing — professional photography, listing syndication
- Buyer offer review and negotiation
- Closing coordination (same as acquisition process)
- FIRPTA withholding certificate application (reduces withheld amount if applicable)
- Referral to CPA for U.S. capital gains tax filing
- Net proceeds wire coordination to your designated bank account — international wire, SWIFT, or ACH
FIRPTA explained simply
- U.S. law requires buyer to withhold 15% of gross sale price from non-resident sellers
- This is a prepayment — not a final tax
- Your CPA files a U.S. tax return after the sale
- If your actual capital gains tax is less than withheld, the IRS refunds the difference
- We can apply for a FIRPTA withholding certificate to reduce the withheld amount if your gain is demonstrably lower than 15% of gross price
No minimum hold period
There is no contractual minimum hold period with REIGPlus. You can sell at any time. However, holding for at least one year before selling converts the gain from short-term to long-term capital gains for U.S. tax purposes, which typically results in a lower tax rate.
Cost at exit
Selling commission: 3% (to Homes by Tameka as listing agent)
Buyer agent commission: 2–3% (standard U.S. practice, from gross proceeds)
Closing costs: 1–2% of sale price
FIRPTA withholding: 15% of gross sale price (prepaid tax)
CPA fee for exit return: ~$800–$1,500
Net repatriated: gross sale price minus selling costs minus FIRPTA withholding, plus any FIRPTA refund after CPA filing. Typically received 3–9 months after sale.
Buyer agent commission: 2–3% (standard U.S. practice, from gross proceeds)
Closing costs: 1–2% of sale price
FIRPTA withholding: 15% of gross sale price (prepaid tax)
CPA fee for exit return: ~$800–$1,500
Net repatriated: gross sale price minus selling costs minus FIRPTA withholding, plus any FIRPTA refund after CPA filing. Typically received 3–9 months after sale.
The most important thing to understand about exit: the 15% FIRPTA withholding is not a 15% tax. It is a deposit held by the IRS while your tax return is filed. If your actual tax on the gain is 10%, the IRS refunds 5%. On a $250,000 sale, the withheld amount is $37,500 — but if your actual liability is $20,000, you receive $17,500 back. We coordinate all of this with our CPA partners.

How we select partners
Every specialist in the REIGPlus ecosystem is vetted specifically for experience with non-resident and international investors. A DSCR lender who has never closed a West African investor loan is not in our panel — regardless of their rates. A property manager who cannot handle international owner communication is not considered. This specificity is the work. Any advisor can Google a DSCR lender. We vet them for your context.
✓
Lenders: Must have completed at least 5 closings for global investors in the past 24 months. Rate is a secondary criterion.
✓
Property managers: Must demonstrate vacancy rates below 5% across their managed portfolio and provide owner statements within 10 business days of month close.
✓
Legal & CPA partners: Must have specific experience with non-resident alien LLC structures and FIRPTA withholding applications. Not general practice attorneys.
✓
Title companies: Must be experienced with Remote Online Notarization (RON) to ensure non-travel closings are legally sound and lender-accepted.
