Hi, William, You'll want to have a good tax attorney / tax accountant on your team, hopefully the same person.The idea of a business entity structure is primarily to facilitate asset protection.

I would be more inclined to be working with 3 attorney's (landlord/tenant, RE contracts, entity structure, probate and BK) etc than a bunch of agents, but that's just me.  

With that being said I am trying to structure and build my Power Team of good, quality, and ethical team members to work with.

Some items, like investment securities, were exempted from the beginning, but for the most part it would be very difficult for Congress to exclude all forms of tax free like kind exchanges without having structural consequences to the tax code.It may be possible that the NAR article was saying that real estate professionals may not want to bother with these deals.  

The market is fairly transparent and ton of resources for due diligence, but I do know that foreigners do have tax issues to be wary of - need to structure entities the right way.

If anybody knows anyone that wants to build a parking structure that would be bomb money close to the military gates and with inreased traffic and increased ability to sell to large crowds more people will come and build up.

With that being said I am trying to structure and build my Power Team of good, quality, and ethical team members to work with.

I'm looking for advice on how to best structure the legal side of things - should the money guys simply be hard money lenders to the guy with the home under contract?

I purchase raw land as a hobby/investment - typically city lots with no structures.3.
