S Corporation or LLC - Financing 1 to 4 units

[Kirk Thompson]

I have historically invested in properties by owning them personally.

I recently sold a business that was an S corporation, and now I am in a 1031 to exchange the real estate from the previous business.

I am finding that it is difficult to finance 1 to 4 units as an S corporation.

Does anyone have a strategy to purchase smaller properties and still shield your liability? Will I do any better with an LLC?
