Amanda,

Thank you for the response. I was planning to make HI LLC as s-corp. WY LLC is SMLLC and disregarded so should be allowed to own the HI LLC.

I am located in CA though. As HI S-corp issues me a salary, I assume I just need to include that W2 on my CA return. 

Please confirm.

Hi

I am trying to figure out what triggers foreign entity registration in HI? Can you help with below scenarios:

1. HI LLC does property management and is registered as Member Managed with WY LLC as 100% owner.

2. HI LLC does property management and is registered as Manager Managed with WY LLC as the sole manager.

Taxation: HI LLC is disregarded and WY LLC is setup as S-Corp. 

Thanks

Ghassan - Thank you for such a prompt response. I agree making employee gives less authority, but feels such a headache to run payroll, file taxes, workers comp etc. Could we not just hire them as manager and create an operating agreement which specifies and limits the duties as a manager of LLC?

Hi 

I need to apply for a new real estate brokerage licence for my business entity that requires having a PB. The licensing form says the PB must be either manager of LLC or an employee. Could someone shed light on the pros and cons? I plan to pay the PB a % of our revenue with NO fixed salary initially until we scale.

Craig - Do you plan to relocate to Hawaii? I believe the property manager needs be on island (but i could be wrong).

Hi - Any large property managers (50+ STRs) who manage properties for other owners, what is your most preferred PMS? What are its pros and cons for you?
