These things take time to get set up plus there's no political will or drive to foreclose as fast as possible.

I'm located in the greater Seattle area where they are a good source for corporate housing!

So, I’m just getting started and I’m not sure how to deal with the office politics of choosing an agent.

Covid has been a reason to outright cancel rent collection and evictions, thanks to executive order on a federal level as of this past weekend.I do NOT want this thread to turn to politics (Save it for facebook lol), but, and I'll keep this macro, we are looking at a presidential candidate and party who are increasingly villainizing landlords, floating ideas of a 25% "flip tax", and a litany of other legislation and taxation that would seemingly destroy private sector residential real estate for many of us small business owners.I have been contemplating liquidating NY assets based upon this looming potential doom and gloom.

The syndicator forms a limited liability corporation (LLC) and sells shares in the corporation to passive investors.

You keep doing it (ie. buy personally then transfer) in my layman's opinion starts making the LLC your alter-ego thus piercing your corporate veil.
