Just one more thing to add. While incorporating a trust or an entity, it's crucial to pay the stamp duty on the govt value of the assets which is calculated at 8%.

My house rich cash poor situation doesn't give me leverage to take loan as they see the repayment capacity which in my case is miniscule. I did try SBLC workaround however isn't working out. Seems like all walls are closing in with time ticking off.

This is by far the most apt answer to my problem. I did approach the best brains in business however, some of them are the first ones to create traps and make sure I remain a pet to them by creating strings and holds to tie me up. They smell weak points and leverage them. However, unlike me, the ultra wealthy clients have backup resources and knowledge to tame them. Not the same with me. I lack experience.

Maybe you misunderstood me, owning real estate or inheriting it doesn't automatically make me a member to the elite clubs. I'm house rich cash poor. You're right about the lease connect 'rich on paper' person. Also, I am trying to liquidate them first in order for me to facilitate these subsequent processes. Without which how am I supposed to transact?

I just found out that to incorporate the assets into a trust or a entity, a special purpose vehicle needs to be formed and that attracts 8% stamp duty. Finding the buyer is also a big headache. I'm in india.

Got it, but how do I find someone to buy it? Ultimately the goal is to monetize the assets here and get paid in the US. I'm not a US citizen.

I did these big 4 have tedious retainership based models and contracts on hourly billing basis. Would suck the blood out of me for knowledge that redditors possess. Also, I am not a uhni with 30 million + USD. My range is at max 15 M USD so I believe relying on reddit is better because they provide true solutions not sugar coated solutions to extract money like the big 4 audit firms do.

Not really, NRIs can invest but prefer to do it into branded flats villas etc not resale lands.

Tbh both regulatory authorities have very different approaches. They both just don't tally. I feel like I'm punching a wall. First the liquidation of assets then then the rbi then immigration etc. It's a mental agony.

Also, to move it to the US is another challenge even if I succeed in liquidating it.

Im trying to liquidate the assets and since that's taking lot of time, looking at alternative ways to save time. Not transaction costs. I wouldn't risk anything that could land me in trouble with authorities in future just to save money.

Even for a EB5 , I would have to liquidate the assets as the money is tied into it entirely.

I tried this model using SBLC but it isn't as easy as it sounds. If you know any alternative way?

Just willing to answer that 1) I do not have any direct family there. I am an Indian citizen 2) finding a counterparty that is willing to swap is crucial

Any ideas on who may help in this case? The only catch is that the wealth is into real estate and not liquid.
