For me, I am trying to minimize risk by saving some of my cash for operating capital.

From my interpretation a single member LLC(if operated 100% like a business) should afford you the same asset protection rights as an S-corp.S-corp is also a "pass-through" entity...so his counter argument should be null there.If someone is going to go sue you - they don't look whether or not you filed a tax return.Again - i'm a CPA so I wouldn't take legal advice from me.You should get back to the EA if he knows personally anyone who was sued personally for an act that his/her LLC did

I really think you have to make an assessment is this a banker/bank I can grow with or if I do this it will have no real benefit long term.for me banking is critical to my operation..

I’ve been listening, learning an taking notes on how this business is done an I’m on the road to becoming  a landlord an learning how to run this operation correctly.
