If that is the case the problem is not where you incorporate, the problem is not following the rules. 

I believe the idea of this is to incorporate any market value changes and tax rate changes that have happened since the first of the year, to give you a "heads-up" about what's coming at the end of the year.

What I can tell you for sure is what I know from my own experience.Do not incorporate any of your companies.  

I'm a student until the end of 2015, and I'm not going to be able to work full-time during my last semester, but I will still have enough spare time to keep working (I do freelance web/graphic design, and photography) and attempt to start my REI career.  

We then prepare concept site plans and marketing graphics so buyers can conceptualize the finished development. 

She also suggested that I become and incorporated company instead of a partnership because of the potential liability if something was to go wrong.

My comments might be better understood if we to say, fraud is illegal, by itself it is a violation of law, incorporating fraudulent schemes or aspects is a predatory practice, a predatory practice is not necessarily fraud. 

So I've heard several presentations at my local REIA meetings and I attended a Section 8 class in the city of Philadelphia where the housing authority also encourages homeowners to incorporate home visits in the screening process.

What if you incorporate?

Between operating as a practicing agent and buying investment properties I know I need to form an LLC or incorporate.
