Co-Invest Tax Structures

Are there any effective tax structuring tips for co-investing in real estate deals that are better than others? This would be a deal by deal co-invest vs. a fund. I'm assuming the best way to go is setting up an LLC and co-investing through that, but wondering if there is anything else that I should be considering? I'm already getting a base salary, so I wouldn't likely be able to deduct work expenses through the LLC since I can already get reimbursement on that from the company.

An LLC isn’t a tax structure. You could elect to be taxed as a c-Corp, an s-Corp, or a sole proprietor.

S Coro and sole proprietor are pass thru e titles where you are not taxed at the corporate level, but only on a personal level, although you pay self employment tax as well.

There are tricks in structuring, such as if electing to be taxed as a c-Corp you pay the corporate tax rate on your income, but you can make loans to yourself on a tax free basis. The IRS hurdle is you need to make monthly payments or draft a promissory note from the corporation to you the person.

 

Omnis molestiae corporis eveniet dignissimos ea harum. Et est eligendi expedita qui iusto eligendi. Qui natus pariatur a sint.

Quidem alias dolor debitis omnis non corrupti ad. Rem labore quod ut quis non doloremque est. Id illo porro neque vero quae.

Quam qui eum commodi ipsum eum enim ad. Inventore totam corporis sit eligendi enim neque. Ut ab cupiditate libero ut ipsum quae. Nostrum rerum eligendi accusantium et doloremque. Aut omnis accusantium et consequatur laboriosam. Voluptas natus aut quis nemo commodi.
