Sure. If memory serves, I think a large chunk of Hawaii is owned by various Japanese entities.

However as everyone knows even if you buy houses in a corporate name , corporate names still require a TIN instead of a SSN... So if you had a disgruntled person, they couldnt sue you, but they could still sue your corporation and take your property.....
A corporation does not give an individual immunity from suit.

That's only true in a handful of countries.

The corporation process is pretty straitfoward, but What identifiers do mortagage companies use for IBCS being that the IBC is tax exempt, since it is offshore..
The IBC may or may not be tax exempt. This is an area where sound, legitimate professional advice is an absolute requirement before you wander off into an ugly tax evasion scheme.
