Investors & landlords

You're running in circles here trying to get to your thumb by going around your elbow.  First, what kind of business do you have? This matters big time. A sole proprietorship or single member LLC that's reported on SCH C as a part of your personal tax return? An S-Corp? A C-Corp? A multi-member LLC? A Partnership? Different rules on this apply to different types of business.
