| I have always heard that you should never put Real Estate in a Corp. Am I right in thinking that putting it in a C is not good but an LLC of S should be alright since the results flow thru to the individuals. I have a client who owns a Commercial Offic Rental building and a small grocery store. I beleive becuase of liabilities they should form a LLC or S, but not sure which one to suggest. Both business's make net profit, the store nets around 35k and the rental nets around 135k. Both business are owned by individual and debt free. | |

| If the liability issue is important LLC is preferable can take distributions to the extent of liabilty (and income)with no tax consequenses. Either LLC or S Corp would eliminate double taxation on a profitable sale of real estate so for this reason would be preferable to C Corp. | |

| That was kind of a simple answer, a lot more variables can come into play but I beleive that I addressed the most obvious. You should do some reading on entity formation and you can familiarize yourself with other variables. | |

| Don't use an S Corp. Use the yellow box and type in "Sub S and real estate". Select the first discussion and see the multiple reasons why Sub S (A Corp)is not the way to go. | |
