I personally went on MD's Assessment and Taxation and found that no one has redeemed ground rent through their department. 

As of now, corporations pay tax at the entity level and then when the corp distributes its after-tax profits to you, you pay tax again as an individual.

From my understanding an LLC would essentially create a corporate veil and restrict my taxation to up to 35%.

. - financing, regulation, taxation are all different here.

Entity with income of $1 million or less doesn't have to pay any Franchise tax.Hope that helps and you can file more information on Texas Franchise Tax at http://comptroller.texas.gov/taxinfo/franchise/

Things like theory, title, escrow, valuation, taxation, financing, possession, legal aspects, business models, leverage, etc.If you can learn these independently, more power to you.

When it comes to details around financing, regulation and taxation, much of the information is U.S.A. specific and those of us from elsewhere need to find local information sources to supplement.  

That is primarily why I wanted to reply and understand further.I know that one of the biggest problems with 401k loans is job security, as the note will become due within 90 days of a job change, or the balance will be treated as an unqualified distribution (and taxed and penalized).My question is regarding the double taxation issue; I think 401k loans are generally considered last resort options because the money is paid back with after tax dollars.

Assessed value is worthless and is for taxation purposes only.

Im wondering if corporate holdings are like personal holdings, where if you hold a property a year you avoid the short term taxation.
