Which corporate entity is best suited for my real estate investments to save on taxes

As a real estate investor, you know that selecting the right corporate entity is essential to minimize tax liabilities and protect your assets. However, it can be challenging to determine which business structure is best for your investment.

Here are some insights, on why you may want to consider the following when thinking about which corporate entity is best suited for your real estate investments to enable you to save on taxes.

Understand the different corporate structures.

Each business structure has unique advantages and disadvantages. From Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to S-Corporations and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Research and compare the various options to determine which one is best suited for your investment goals and tax needs.

A small business accountant is very specialized and knowledgeable in the different entities and will be of help in the decision-making process.

Invest in professional legal advice.

Working with a tax professional or financial advisor can help you determine which corporate structure aligns with your investment goals and tax needs. They can provide guidance on the advantages and disadvantages of each option and help you select the optimal structure that maximizes your profits while minimizing tax liabilities.

Depending on your investment size and portfolio, certain corporate structures may offer more favorable tax treatment than others. Be sure to consider the tax implications of each option and select a structure that aligns with your financial objectives.

When it comes to real estate investments, it’s important to view them as long-term investments rather than just expenses. To ensure that you make informed decisions, it’s crucial to evaluate your short-term and long-term goals carefully.

3. Find a professional small business accountant

Working with a small business accountant who specializes in real estate investments can be beneficial. They can provide expert advice on selecting the optimal corporate structure for your investment strategy and tax needs. With their experience and knowledge, they can help you navigate the complex tax laws and regulations related to real estate investments.

I am a small business owner and found this firm a few years ago and could not be happier. I was worried it might be hard to switch but after my initial meeting with the owner, Nneka, and her staff it was an easy decision. They are all amazing people. We have an unusual business model but it took them a very short time to understand because they asked questions and listened. Over the past three years, Nneka, has given me excellent advice that helped me make solid decisions for the business and for my personal retirement. If you need a CPA, they see all types of clients, I personally and professionally highly recommend them.

Nneka is knowledgeable, she listens and understands your goals and then makes a plan to achieve these with you. Many CPAs simply use software and are not ready to educate you on how to utilize the benefits you have. She is not a cookie cutter professional but one who cares, listens cos she has ears and then helps you achieve your goals! Thanks so much!

CPA Nneka Nwobi provided very valuable tax related recommendation which helped save thousands of dollars that would have to otherwise be paid to the IRS. Nneka is very professional and prompt in email communication. I am truly thankful to her and appreciate her for her knowledge and the valuable recommendations that she made on how to best approach my situation.

I received very valuable tax information from Nneka Nwobi. Making her services and tax questions available with no obligation is a lost art from any business owners today. I really appreciate her professionalism, knowledge and recommendations on how to best approach my text situation.

Nneka Nwobi's response to my request for help in making some adjusting entries and correcting some accounting matters was EXCELLENT! I especially appreciated her showing me how to do it using Zoom screen sharing on my Quickbooks account as well as explaining the transactions. It is a pleasure working with her.
