LLCs (and LLPs) can be problematic entities for Canadians when dealing with the CRA if they are set-up as pass-through entities ... if they are being treated as a body corporate for taxation purposes, there will be less conflict with the Canadian tax authorities.I can't speak for Platinum as I've never worked with them, but I've worked with several others and brought through them.

I've got a lead on an 18 unit motel property with manager's quarters that is coming up for sale as the owner/operator is retiring.

This leads to different types of taxation. 

Here is our situation:Rent House 1 (Paid Off)  Appraised at $92,000Triplex Rental Units  (still owe 58,000)  Appraised at 110,00055 Acres Land (Paid Off)  Our hopes are to build a Barn / Bride & Groom Quarters / Landscaping that should roughly cost us between $150,000 and $200,000.If I go to get a Business loan, what are my options that would allow us to have the least amount of down payment possible? 

You'll receive true passive income on a monthly/quarterly basis, receive equity ownership, and still be able to participate in tax savings from depreciation.

I got a notice from Milwaukee Water telling me that the water use for this quarter was 4 times higher than 'normal'. 

I believe the tax implication on depreciated portion (if no 1031) would be 25% depreciation recapture PLUS state tax....at least that is my understanding.  

Say you have an adjustment worth $50,000 with Form 3115 and you're paying taxes quarterly and your total annual tax bill is $100,000 with $25,000 due per quarter.

From the brokers I spoke to, they are expecting a record amount of properties to come market in 1st/2nd quarter.

How is the payment received quarterly or monthly?
