I am US citizen and my other has recently became US resident in December 2013 and we are planning to buy a small apartment in Ahmadabad India for investment purpose and than going to rent it out ...


Should I get an OCI card(I have not applied for it yet) and buy it in my name only (as I believe unless I have an OCI status or PIO status I cant buy in my name please correct me if am wrong..) or I should buy it in joint with my mother?


OR should my mother buy in only in her name?

I am living in USA but my mother is living in India and she has no plan to come back to India any time soon.


if we decide to buy in joint name..what will happen to rent income we will get?

will it split half half between us for tax purposes and report accordingly? what will happen to taxes both in India as well as USA?


And same question if we buy it in single name either her or mine...what will happen to India and as well US taxes?
