*I want to make a clear distinction from the beginning that there will be three separate portions of the business.

I would have thought that all activity would then be classified as ordinary once the entity is a corporation and there would be no distinction between capital gains/investing and ordinary income/development.

Pittsburgh is the one place in America where a distinctive plural of "you," not the simply illiterate "yous" or "y'all" exists.

Fair amount of overlap with REITs, but with some distinctions it seems, and then of course there's the "techy" blockchain differentiator.He's got a Beta app in the works, which I'll be testing in the coming months -- he opened a waiting list for anyone interested in being an early user.I'm reaching out across multiple channels to aficionados/experts in the space before I get involved any further, so would love any input.

Few GC I have reached out have shown me very distinctive cost for the same work, and some of them don't even want to touch any building like this old.

This distinction is important because the land improvement is 15 your property and even the capital improvement to the land improvement will qualify for 100% bonus deduction.

They're such distinct ideas and I don't see any academic or intellectual connection between the two, so that's a confusing conversation to have. 

I wonder if instead of selling the entire bundle of rights to a $2,000,000 property all in one transaction, as is customary, a creative attorney/title agency could be hired to carve up the bundle in to 5 distinct sales?

You need to have a separate entity and a distinct plan around making such a structural change to your rental business.
