It has always been my understanding that the S-Corp rules require all shareholders in an S-Corp to be Individuals, or a Trust.Are you referring to something different?

I'm done giving up years of happiness to the shareholders of the billion dollar corp I work for :)

The bank has shareholders to answer to.

CASH or 50% DOWN is the usual expectations of foreigners with little/no credit in the USA, as an individual or shareholder. some credit references will STILL be required for underwriting, as for a loan there must be some level of creditworthiness established in absence of FICO scores.check into Bank of the Internet and other lenders that lend to foreign nationals.

If you think that big gov and big business are looking out for the consumer or the little guy, no its profit over people all the time all in the name of enriching shareholders and government coffers.

You will be the sole director and shareholder of the company and then you can transfer the directorship to your grandchildren over the age of 18 or via your will.

This allows you to be an owner-operator of an active business, and make your retirement plan a shareholder of that business. 

My consulting is done through an LLC (s-corp) and I am the only shareholder. 

There's no way to know on this unless you run the actual numbers.2) If you are planning to sell in the future, an asset-sale of a C-Corp (as it is usually structured) would result in a tax to the C-Corp on the sale of assets, and additional tax on the distribution to shareholders.

You can pay dividends to shareholders (your family) so that distributes income and keeps taxes low.
