Overview

There are highly negative implications of putting Real Estate inside a C Corporation.

The issue with this seems to be that if your property appreciates in value and you sell it, the corporation has to pay tax on the gain. When you pull the money out, either in the form of a dividend or salary, you have to pay tax on the money received. Double taxation. Never Never Never put appreciating property in a C Corp.
