Hey @Tony Thomas, I won't speak to the tax side (not a tax pro) but from a bookkeeping perspective, this will complicate your operations (and, bookkeeping as a result) quite a bit.So, ensure you have super powerful incentives from an REI-savvy attorney and an REI-savvy tax advisor prior to making this move.Some of our Clients have implemented this in the past (prior to working with us) and their businesses weren't large enough to justify the complications that come with this type of structure.Hope that helps!
