Investors & landlords

Just to expand on a few items:

  • While one should never say never, however, owning real estate in an S corporation is NOT a good idea.  Bad tax things generally happen at some point.
  • We know too little about your current situation to provide much in the way of advice.
  • Owning real estate is generally deemed a passive activity.  As such, losses are typically limited and suspended until income is generated or you have an exit event.
  • Another exception would be if you qualify as a real estate professional for tax purposes.  This is best determined with a one on one with a tax professional.
  • Discussing real estate syndication on a forum such as this indicates you are a long way away from understanding the complexity of this area.  Real estate syndicates are handled by large law firms and top accounting firms.
*A reminder that posts in a forum such as this do not constitute tax advice.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
