Most people are going for 3+.

I've also held of holding properties in individual LLCs that are owned by one S corporation, which allows for a 60 / 40 split between ordinary income (regular tax) and dividends (capital gains tax rate).With the goal of minimizing taxation and liability protection, what would be the recommendation from more experienced people here?

I still think that the appreciation question boils down to the "Do people with options want to live here?"

Either way, there are several people who make this work all the time.
