Corporate Structure for your RE Investing Business

Set it up right

February 20, 2025 • Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

Creating the right corporate structure for your real estate investment (REI) business is crucial for maximizing tax advantages and protecting personal assets. One guideline is absolute: Never own investment property in your own name. You have personal liability and exposure for anything that happens on that property, most of which is completely beyond your control.

Here are the basic corporate entities to consider:

  1. Limited Liability Company (LLC). This is the place for nearly every investor to begin.

  2. Series LLC. This is for someone accumulating a number of properties.

  3. S Corporation. Occasionally used for investors with a big vision.

  4. C Corporation. For only the biggest investors - those looking for outside investment in the company.
