As i said, he isn't wrong, "IF" there was an option to just save up a few hundred thousand and buy that property cash with zero mortgage, yes it is "safe" in the manner that you can screw up and be horrible at finding tenants, managing the property and just overall life as a real estate investor, because there isn't a mortgage payment forcing you to feel the pain of failure monthly.

Too many amateurs are screwing things up for everyone. 

Trust me several screws in 3/4 aren’t going anywhere.

If you are on the fence, at what price would you say, "screw it, at this price it makes sense."

They're screwing you.

And it’s almost always leverage or untimely refinancing that gets them screwed. 

Last year I was in Prague for 2 months while I was trying to close on new construction in FL, and i ended up having to do multiple embassy trips (which needs to be scheduled a week in advance), multiple expensive air mailing, and in the end I got back to the US and signed it there because everything was still screwed up.

(I sue Behr Scuff defense and its tough and super wipeable)I would get loctite glue and glue in those pesky furniture screws that keep coming loose. 

The person I was dealing with that was either reassigned or left basically admitted how screwed up this company is.

Moving the property to a corporation is horrible horrible advice.Not only does that potentially screw the step up in basis as there would only be step up in basis of corporate shares and not the property itself, but it also locks in real estate losses that can't be passed to the owners.You should consider firing the CPA for giving that advice.
