@John Casmon thanks for adding this distinction.

While a more distinct connection between the IRA and its own EIN may be preferable, it is not always possible, or may not exist in time for required reporting.  

The organization I'm with does direct marketing - there's a distinct difference - and is modeled after the insurance industry.The amortization formula (thanx for the refresher) and others may be discussed in more than one of the 60+ classes / 500+ hours of education we have available.

I think there needs to be a distinction because I don't think this is Political.

Simply search for a property that aligns with this concept, featuring distinct living spaces, enabling you to generate rental income.

@Bill: Hi Bill, you say: "a management company is commonly known to operate rental properties" and that "A Holding Company is known to lease, maintain and operate assets "Can you elaborate more on the distinction?

The ability to communicate promptly, clearly, openly, and consistently with investors places you in a distinct league.When you accomplish this, as an investor, I can assume that you maintain the same level of communication with your property manager and throughout your organization.

Clarification there is welcome from anyone who knows if there's a distinction. 

That's an important distinction that everyone kind of knows, but it bears saying out loud (or, as it were, in writing).2.

However, each of those routes have distinct benefits and procedural peculiarities.
