Flexible schedule, ability to "pop in" on my guys working on my RE projects, and all the benefits of a top notch large cap. medical corporation.

I have tasted the corporate life and decided it is not for me.

Would it be just as good to put them into an S-Corp, or should I set up an LLC under the S-Corp and put them in that?

we are forming a corporation and looking to purchase some property in diff markets but I would like to be able to search inventory nationally.Does this exist?

Therefore, make them a partner, or officer, of your corporation and you should be fine.

In my opinion... land trusts are not as useful for “protection” as they are for “privacy”.If you want protection, an entity like a Corporation or LLC will probably do a better job than a land trust.

Banks want to see corporate tax returns.

In the case of many franchises, it is not the corporation that is signing the lease, but the franchisee.

In the last downturn I had bank VPs, corporate attorneys and corporate accounts lose their houses and rent from me.

You should be using an S-corporation for this business since an S-corporation is not subject to SE tax.
