I have just completed my first full year in Corporate America, and like many of us on here, it just is not for me.

Yes, they can advise on structure but I would suggest talking to a strong corporate structure attorney and have them collaborate with the CAP to come up with the best structure for you -IMHO.For me, I have a S corp as the parent and several LLC's under that.  

So recently bought a building with 2 tenants inside with leases ending toward December. One is just a mom and pop store so I know I can just walk over to them and talk with the owner. However the other is a large rent...

I'm interested in starting big and going bigger, with the backing from my corporate boss.

You could explore with your respective accountants creating a holding corporate structure that would take title to, control, and manage the portfolio.  

If that doesn't get things moving, I'm at a loss for ideas.Oh, and if anyone here has used ListSource for apartment building searches before, I have a couple of questions:- Those on the SFR side of things typically mark "Exclude Corporate-Owned Properties".

Never finance long term assets with short term financing, that's a basic rule in corporate finance or business finance. 

@Marcia LangleyOur plan is to rent the house we're negotiating on for multiple uses - weddings, vacations, events in town, but also as a possible short term weekly or monthly rental for corporate or academic groups.  

Minding all the LLC, S Corps, company logos, branding, and business cards etc, etc derails the process of actually investing in real estate for most folks.

I eliminated any properties owned by a corporation, LLC, or investment firm.
