Warm welcomes from a fellow PwC Alum(4 years for me in the NYC office) splitting my time in the Investment Management(IM) and State and Local Tax Group(SALT).Commercial real estate is normally a good candidate for a cost segregation study.It is unclear of the investor pool that you will be taking capital from - There are unique tax considerations when you have investors that are Exempt organizations and foreign partners.Another consideration for the investors, you may want to work with a firm that can handle the tax filing obligations for the partnerships by April 15 - This would allow your investors to file a timely return instead of them having to go on extension.Best of luck to you in your search

@Carson WrightLLC's are likely the most versatile entity structure if we are just talking about US Citizens / Partnerships / Corporations as members.You may have to think of other structures when you are considering taking on foreign individuals / exempt organizations.When it comes to ordinary income, speak to an accountant to see if an LLC taxed as an S-corporation makes sense.Best of luck
