I think you can create better deals working in the "residential" space, I have found that as the deals get bigger the other parties in the transaction are typically more sophisticated.

Especially in these situations, becoming knowledgeable and sophisticated as a borrower is table stakes.

I was hoping to take advantage of a bank promo (eg. earn $300 when you direct deposit $500+ in each of the first 3 months), but the disclosures limit direct deposit to payroll, pension, Social Security, etc.

Most times, newer or less sophisticated buyers (usually under $1MM) seek out "mom & pop" Parks that keep poor financial records.

As Chris has mentioned many times this is not sophisticated investing.. this is simply buying a SFR and renting it out...

My tenant has the rent automatically deducted from her payroll twice a month as she has a government position.

However, the investor has to reach a level of scale and sophistication that most can't achieve and then economically a standard PM makes more sense.

They will probably have someone on payroll that deals with fundraising.  

@Alex SpahmanSave $50k & do a syndication as a sophisticated investor.

Go find another CPA immediately bad.Moving property out of a Corp is a taxable event, while it isn’t necessarily for an LLC, so that’s not a good thing.Also, if you are a S corporation if you want to take money out of the Corp you must first pay yourself a reasonable salary (and pay payroll taxes on that).If you are a C corporation, you are subject to double taxation (all income is taxed at the corporate level, and then again when distributed to you).If you are a real estate developer it makes sense to own property through a corporation, but not rental real estate.I strongly suggest talking to someone else about you tax situation.
