Since you’re renting out a fully furnished house to a business entity rather than individual tenants, it leans more towards a commercial agreement IMO.
Can you just paste the photos here? Not that confident of clicking weird-looking links (sorry, but paranoid, haha).
Great to hear you’re diving into real estate with a clear goal in mind! Regarding the Commercial vs. Residential debate: It depends on your risk tolerance and investment strategy. Residential properties often have a broader market, while commercial can offer higher returns but with more complexity. Consider what aligns better with your long-term goals.
It scares me as well Ben, I simply don’t like putting so much trust into 3rd party systems especially when it comes to money.
Great foresight in wanting to separate your business and investment endeavors for enhanced asset protection and tax benefits. Here are some options to consider:
Shareholder Loan – Company A can lend money to company/trust B. Ensure you formalize this with a clear agreement, including repayment terms and interest rates.
Dividends – If company A generates profits, you can declare dividends and use them to fund property purchases in company/trust B. Keep in mind the tax implications of dividends.
Trust Structure – Consider setting up a trust structure for company/trust B. Company A can distribute income to the trust, which is then used for property investment. Seek advice on the legal and tax implications of this approach.
Internal Financing -If your business generates sufficient cash flow, you might internally finance the property purchase by retaining earnings within company A and using them to fund property acquisition in company/trust B.
