That's a great question, Jamie! The statistics I provided earlier generally refer to foreign ownership of properties by individuals rather than entities like trusts, LLCs or shell corporations. However, it's worth noting that some individuals may choose to use these types of entities for privacy reasons or tax benefits when purchasing property abroad.

In some cases, governments may limit foreign ownership of real estate through regulations designed to prevent entities from taking over too much property in valuable areas. However, these regulations can vary widely by country and region.

I hope that helps answer your question! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with or if you have any other questions on your mind.

that's helpful, thank you. do you know of any situations in which a shelter or entity is used to purchase land in a foreign country on behalf of an actual government?
