It's a disaster and the government has a strong interest in spreading the pain out in a manner that is best for the broader society. 

LOL Okay so you just confirmed that the majority of society cant carry themselves like they did years ago.

Make sure they belong to a national inspector association like ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) or NAHI (National Association of Home Inspectors).

It will keep our bloated government from buying paper that no sane private institution would buy because they are pushing for an "ownership society."

Carrying a gun is beyond the "norm" of society so you must be fully competent with the weapon, and for the rest of your days be calmer, more reasonable, more calculated, and more responsible than everyone else on the street.

Many believe the world is against them, society has beat them down, they often have a very high scenes of entitlement and they all resent anyone with money or in a perceived position of authority.

@John Jackson have you reached out to some kind of historical society or whoever would be responsible for that type of thing.

We remain a far less litigious society then our neighbours and unless your have a very risky venture in another part of your life a good insurance policy will be more valuable than holding your assets in a corporation.There is more overhead (separate financials) and you pay a high tax rate with a passive corporation ... unless you are personally already in a top income ta bracket bracket (or your rental income would push you into one), you may well be better off starting out holding the properties in your own name.I would make a bullet list of your near and mid-term objectives and then sit down with an accountant and attorney familiar with real estate and chart an ownership strategy to fit your business plan.

Trying to hold property owners responsible- morally - for society's failure to be able to properly house and care for all of the elderly people in the USA seems misplaced.

Rent to a historical society...
