Couple questions about passive MF investing

[Cherry Patterson]

Hello everyone,

I am going to invest in some syndications and i wanted to raise a couple questions here for advice.

1. my SFHs I have in LLCs. What are the advantages of putting the MF investment into a disregarded LLC vs in my private name?

2. Whatnare the disadvantages of putting a MF passive investment into a C Corp? This would allow me to deduct a lot of "general" expenses and shelter the income, however is this wise? I know with SFH it is problematic.

3.  Do people typically do 1031 exchanges with syndications or end up paying tax on the capital gains when exiting the deal?

4. Tom Wheelright advises not to own real estate in a SD IRA. What about owning shares in a passive real estate deal. Has anyone ran into tax issues on the SD IRA by participating in passive multi family deals?

Thank you in advance!
