@Gerald MaczugaI recommend finding a tax strategist specializing in real estate taxation.

The idea was that each man would be represented in government, and government would be as small as possible, including no taxation without representation, where taxation is the only measure of the size of government.

I believe Italy hasn't completely recovered from the 2008 Global Financial Crisis due to a combination of weak banking system, political instability, weak demographics and taxation issues.

No, no tax at all up till now. 

They do not appear to specialize in real estate taxation, their prices are high, and they have had numerous complaints filed.

Employ cpa or cpa's that understand real estate taxation.

-US Judge Learned Hand Equalizing wealth in the USA by government taxation never used to be a sought after outcome. 

For ex: If you bought a home at a very low interest rate and rates increased, then bank can call the note so you have to either pay or refinance at a higher rate.Can be expensive to maintain if you only have 1 or 2 propertiesTax benefits:I think tax wise both approaches can be handled as pass-through taxation but there are advantages to an LLC if you have a big portfolio or actively flipping houses etc.

Any and all distributions from inherited IRA will be subject to taxation. 

Again - trying to think about a 20 year plan...ROBS/C-Corp - double taxation, no step up basis, model relies on moderate future tax rates, cost of capital and 1031 BUT - the C Corp CAN obtain financing - should I just buy a property a year, cash out REFI, 1031, plan on never selling?
