Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I currently own 3 rental properties with mortgages and currently working on my 4th. Should I have my properties in either a corporation or LLC? Any insight is appreciated thank you.

Never do corporations for various reasons. 

You don’t get a debt basis, meaning your loss gets limited during tax filing.

Also, there is taxation when you distribute property. 

There are many other threads on this. Let us know if you have questions after reading those. 

@Ashish Acharya Will do, thanks for your reply!

@Eli Fazzo

C Corps or S Corps will rarely make sense if the majority of the revenue generating assets are appreciating tangible property.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they never make sense.  But...they generally don't make sense -- except in limited fact patterns.

@Eli Fazzo I agree with both @Ashish Acharya and @Eamonn McElroy for tax purposes an LLC is more flexible and usually preferable. I would be interested to see any real estate attorneys comment on the legal implications.
