Dependent upon the profit of the business, one idea you could run is an S Corp for operating side and an LLC for the real estate side.

That puts you on the right side of making more money and not having those higher and higher holding costs.  

Here is what one of my 4 AIs say:The commission structure detailed in the image for a real estate transaction involving a property valued between $30M and $40M is as follows:Under $34,000,000: 1% (0.50% per side)$34,000,000 - $34,999,999: $400,000 ($200,000 per side)$35,000,000 and above: $500,000 ($250,000 per side)To evaluate whether these commissions are fair for a 112-unit apartment complex valued between $30M and $40M, let's compare them to typical real estate commission rates for large commercial properties:Typical Commission Rates:For commercial real estate transactions, commissions generally range from 1% to 3% for properties valued above $10M.

Luxury apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn offer unparalleled views of the city, and penthouses in neighborhoods like Tribeca, Upper East Side, and SoHo are highly sought after.

What is a "luxury" for us is I am in real estate and my wife is in finance - so we both have experience and knowledge in each side of things, so it gives us some confidence when we reallocate that atleast one of us "knows what they are doing" - if that makes sense. 

Both side said that my DTI was too high and I wasn't qualify to borrow.

Here's a picture of a duplex - each side is a 2/2 and 960sqft. 

You can also find agents and lenders via the Find An Agent or Find a Lender tools.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer. 

I do think in A & B you can push those numbers on the high side. 

As far as the legal side goes I would recommend speaking to a real estate attorney in Texas as they will be able to give you the best advice.
