When you invest in a REIT or ReTF, shareholders earn a portion of the income produced through real estate investment – without actually having to buy, manage or finance properties. 

Currently having a hard time finding a way to sell that works best for me Had it sold during the spring The appraisal and all came back good but the underwriter then denied it due to pending litigation from US the shareholders suing the builders for construction deficiencies during the original build in 2010 Coop is currently fixing the most important items Would appreciate any help in finding the best resolution 

Or can I have an Property LLC and issue Tenancy in Common agreements where each shareholder will have equal share in property as well as the LLC?

The shareholder would then be required to report dividends when distributed.One way to work around this(and this only works if he has no other income) is to distribute the money over several years when he is in a low bracket so the dividend income is taxed at 0%There are strategies involved with converting it to an S-corp.I would also avoid you providing the seller with tax advice.

It has many advantages over other entities as your business grows, including the ability to sell ownership interests more easily, take the company public at a later point in time, have non-U.S. shareholders, etc.

They say "Our objective is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders through dividends and capital appreciation."

It is true the directors and shareholders have limited personal liability - provided there has been no negligence or criminal conduct - but this extra protection is typically outweighed by the additional taxation and costs of operating as a company.If you hold residential properties in a company, lenders will have required your personal guarantee on any mortgages - there is a reason the lenders require this and it is so they have recourse to your personal assets should the company default on the mortgage.Now, there are valid, even necessary, reasons for holding property in a company.  

As they get bigger, they're less interested in making great investments and more interested in earning fees.Also, minority shareholders in a syndication don't have much influence anyways.

If your business is earning more profit than your salary is worth (and in this case, you want to say your salary is as low as possible to avoid paying more self-employment taxes) this method will save you some money.I paid myself $75,000 as my reasonable compensation (wages).This leaves $165,000 to be distributed to the shareholders (me) and taxed on my earned income tax returns as pass-through income, but exempt from paying SS and Medicare tax.
