JBOn a very high level, for a personal service S Corp, there might be some saving if you don’t pay yourself the entire net income as salary.

If Greenville continues to boom like it has the past 10 years, I suggest any house you buy will prove to be a good investment.My comments are high level broad brush but I believe ultimately true.We can fine tune a little at the margins of your property search.I continue to invest in Greenville and am optimistic about its future.

a lot of agents just send the contract to title company and Duck have no clue how the mechanics work.My Daddys old real estate attorney  told me when I was about 10 or 11 he said you want to make money in this business you go learn how title works and how to research at the courthouse,  how to find Plat maps that were recorded 100 years ago.. just dive into all the public records its fun and gets you to another level and you are not so beholding on other companies to do this for you its not a money issue its a time and speed issue. 

@Nicholas AjaThe easiest way is to make sure you’re both on the deed and mortgage, by default in doing this the laws offer a lot of base level protection for the both of you such as disposition on death, etc.The next level would be to draft an operating agreement up between you both through a lawyer.Another layer of protection is to require your tenants to have renters insurance so they would use that before they go after you personally.The biggest single layer of protection though is communication and to make sure you’re on the same page with timeline, goals, expectations, work schedules, and budgets.Good luck!
