LLCs and C Corp's are useful for two or more people. C Corp is currently attractive with a 21% tax rate, but requires a Distribution ／ Payroll process to transfer personal income （ to assets ）. > Payroll procedures are required. Taxes （ double taxation ） will apply at that time. However, it is considered best for those who wish to regulate their personal income.

Declaration

Fixed Assets （ Asset ） and Depreciation （ Depreciation ） It is very important to make sure that the information is correct. If this is not correct, there will be a huge panic when the property is sold, inherited, or audited. If you are not a person with bright knowledge of these matters, you will be in a situation where you will have a hard time correcting the fact that the Rental Property is in Double Declining Depreciation, the Asset itself is not listed, or the Asset is not updated. We recommend that you check with a specialist once a year.
