Form a property management LLC. Separate management from ownership.
Sophisticated real estate investors separate property ownership (in property holding LLCs) from property management (in a separate management LLC). The management LLC handles tenants, contractors, repairs, and rent collection; the holding LLCs hold the property. Benefits: liability isolation, S-Corp tax election eligibility for management fees (which generate active income), cleaner books, easier scale.
How we handle Property Management LLC, end-to-end.
Sophisticated real estate investors separate property ownership (in property holding LLCs) from property management (in a separate management LLC).
Structure design
Two-tier setup: property holding LLCs (one per property) own real estate, generate passive rental income. Management LLC contracts with each holding LLC to manage. Management LLC generates active income (S-Corp eligible).
Management LLC formation
Form management LLC (typically in the state where you operate). File Articles, draft operating agreement, BOI report, EIN. If electing S-Corp tax treatment, file Form 2553 within 75 days.
Management agreement
Property management agreement between each holding LLC and the management LLC. Standard market rate (8-12% of gross rent for residential; 4-6% for commercial). Generates deductible expense in holding LLC, active income in management LLC.
Operational handoff
Management LLC opens its own bank account, takes over rent collection, vendor management, tenant relations. Holding LLCs receive net rental income from management LLC.
