What about those companies that make their money buy incorporating you and telling you that they can get you corporate credit..in so many days....are they not using any personal guarantee?

I plan to complete and fix the wainscoting and chair rail in the dining room/foyer and finish with a two-tone pain of white lower half and off white or cream above.

Minor picky points, I don't think these are the problem.The living room has too much furniture, lose the side chairs,The staging photos make it look like there are two living rooms, maybe make one an office?

In general  I would love to hear about some of the doors that opened when you incorporated and some of the doors that closed. 

May I also add to my question above: I would love to be able to incorporate into the analysis the option of an FHA loan vs. a normal commercial loan.Thank you so much, Lorenzo

I would like to hear strategies, tactics, stories of success, and how to incorporate lessons learned into future tax planning and preparation.

@Alexander Merritt It use to be a common practice up here - and likely down there as well - to incorporate a holding company which would own one or more pieces of commercial real estate ...i.e. a 50 unit apartment complex.    

Sorry to disagree, maybe, if you use your personal name, there is no registration requirement at the state, but that isn't a self proprietorship, that is a business formed that is not incorporated, but held individually.

The stylist, in turn, rent their "chairs" (spaces) from him at about half the rate they would pay in the traditional salon setup. 

In general you need to incorporate this into an estate plan that in all inclusive.
