There are numerous reported cases of plaintiffs piercing the corporate veil, especially in the case of single owner entities.  

I see single tenant sale leasebacks as the corporate bond of the real estate world.

@ Shannon WilsonIn NY State where I am, if I open an LLC, S Corp, or C Corp, and if I indicate on the application the entity will do property management, I must be a licensed real estate broker to do so.

LLCs, corporations and trust are usually where other skip tracing tools stop.

My primary business through the Corp is "Flipping" properties but any property truly bought to be flipped is bought in the corporate name.

@Mark CalivasAn LLC may be better than a corporation.

We are more corporate style when it comes to purchasing our fix & flip properties... meaning we will not purchase sight unseen and without getting our contractor in to determine the rehab. 

However, you may elect to have the LLC taxed as a C or S corporation, it will then be treated as an entity separate from it's owner (in other words it will be treated as a regarded entity for Federal income tax purposes).

For example could create double corporate structure with foreign blocker but this is generally expensive to setup/maintain.

It allows you to skip trace LLCs, corporation, trusts and individuals while giving you unique pieces of data like if the person has moved recently.
