@John N CookI don't have much experience with ROBS... but the C-Corp requirement will mean that your C Corp has to file and pay its own taxes - unlike a Single Owner LLC, which can file within your personal tax return.

All tenants paying CAM charges.

I need to learn how to leverage equity in my property, how to improve cash flow, how to improve my property, understand book-keeping, create the right structures to limit liability, create the proper structures for tax, and learn how to find deals.
