The down side are the fees and the rules that a broker would implement.

The downside is that you do have to pay a management fee, but for me it is more than worth it.

At first glance, you might not consider a company such as that as HI, but since toxic chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, it would be.The obvious downside to a HI business/property are the environmental concerns.

I don't see downside potential on any of my purchases to date.

The downside is you have to disclose you're a licensed agent.

The only down side is that it's going to auction next week.I told her that it sounded like something I would be interested in and that I have the cash to close at the court house if it's legit.

I currently own several S-Corps in other industries so I'm familiar with the structure of them, the requirements for them in my state, the tax benefits of them, etc.Is there a downside to starting a new S-Corp to run all of my real estate investment endeavors through?

Down side is it makes financing more difficult, banks will still require personal guarantees on mortgages, and you will incur additional costs and book keeping with a LLC.A LLC is psychological security for those living with the fear of litigation. 

@Anthony Caiola At the end of the day it all comes down to making projections, and then deciding if the probable upside is worth the possible downside.

I would say the down side is that having a loan will reduce your loan capacity so it would be detrimental from that perspective.
