My concern.. if these big corporations are buying up a majority of houses, assuming there’s no legislation in place to stop them from doing so or sell them off, now IS the time to buy before they take everything from us over time.. it DOES seem like now or never.Regardless of recession and lay offs in the future, these big corporations will just buy more, they’ll never run out of money. and we will all have NOTHING.

Any business or corporate entity looking to execute residential projects on a certain scale (which is sort of a regulated activity) either has to obtain a license (for the entity) or contract/retain a general contractor.

Most of the administrative tasks such as posting rents, verifying applications, paying contractors, payroll. human resources, paying taxes, paying owners etc…. are dealt with at a higher level with the corporate office PMC

@David Rutledge I don't doubt it, but it's a town of about 20,000 people, and aside from this thing a number of miles away called the Pro Football Hall of Fame, there really isn't anything that spectacular to draw tourism in the area... it must all be corporate and maybe kids returning to visit their elderly parents? 

So, while it may be legal in most states for you to lend the LLC funds if it is structured as an actual loan, in writing with specific interest and payment schedules, just like a bank loan, it would have no tax advantage.If it's a stock corporation, then yes you can.This would be entered in QB like any other interest loan.Feel free to reach out with any further questions.

I would just stop going there instead trying to track down the owners and analyzing their corporate structure.  

Even if you manage to be the first person in history to maintain the corporate veil of a tiny corporation.

If there's a fire in one of your properties and a tenant is hurt, they can sue your LLC but so long as you haven't done anything personally to pierce the corporate shield, it's much more difficult for them to sue you personally. 

A plaintiff may always attempt to pierce the corporate veil by holding you personally responsible by theories as negligence or gross negligence.

Its not advisable to hold real property in corporations, and S Corp are more corporate-like.Just stay with the default partnership and deal with the 1065 and K-1.More importantly, discuss with a qualified professional or two.
