To be clear an alternative lender is not a commercial bank, hard money, or private money that you may be accustomed too.An alternative lender is a private corporation in business to originate commercial loans or secured loans based on real assets.  

If I purchase a rental in my name, keep the loan for it personally, and deed the property to my LLC does that make it easier for someone suing the LLC to "pierce the corporate veil" and come after me?

We seem to be over paying for various types of liability and umbrella insurances which I believe some seemed to be covered under the LLC's protection and I definitely think we have too many LLC's and should be creating possibly an S-Corp or another type of Corporation that will better fit this large of a property portfolio. 

I'm looking for corporate rentals, travelling nurses, etc.

Deal structure: are you purchasing shares in the developing entity/corporation?

I still plan to climb that corporate ladder but would like to invest in real estate on the side.

Depending on where it is,  it's better than LLC's as you don't have the issue of piercing the corporate veil.So if you don't already own a home, these are the major considerations.

Happy to be involed with this real estate community wondered if i finish flip say i made a profit role into 1031 tax deferred invest in my second flip at which point i have a llc in place filing taxes as s.corp can i slide profit across corporate vail of protection into a solo k retirement  account tax free also what is 1% rule thanks so much for ur help and have great day everyone

"--------------------------------"Profit" is a misnomer, since after taxes, a corporation should be indifferent to whether it is financed by equity or by debt.

Agree with the second half.You're probably thinking of a corporate tax entity (C or S Corp).
