@Jonathan SantiagoThe tax difference between capital gain vs ordinary income is HUGE.Capital gain - Preferential tax rates if long term at federal level, subject to regular tax at state levelOrdinary income - taxed at marginal tax rates at federal level + Self employment taxes + state taxesIntent is what differentiates between a real estate sold being subject to capital gain treatment vs ordinary income.

I'm getting highly differing feedback from my lawyer and CPA on the proper structure and taxation of Texas Series LLCs.

(There's a bit more to it, including an understanding of her total other income sources, possible taxation of capital gains at 0% for certain income levels, etc. 

Also, you will get the benefit of pass-through taxation, so your income is not taxed twice.Good luck!
