In the case of real estate investment, from the viewpoint of investor responsibility, it is almost always a joint stock company or limited liability company.

Which one to choose, a corporation or a limited liability company?

Advantages and disadvantages of a corporation

Corporations have high social recognition and can issue shares to raise funds.The disadvantage is that it costs about XNUMX yen because it requires public announcement of financial statements.

Advantages and disadvantages of joint venture companies

Low set-up costs and no need to announce financial results.Depending on the situation, you can change to a joint-stock company later.Disadvantages include low social recognition and the inability to go public, but these tend to be almost no disadvantages in personal-scale real estate investment.

Establishment of Asset Management Company for Real Estate Investment

Incorporation is the establishment of your own asset management company, which can be broadly divided into three patterns.

Management outsourced type

This is a method of entrusting the management of income real estate already owned by the landlord "individual" to an established asset management company.

Income can be easily and stably recorded by an asset management company, but it is said that the management fee is limited to about XNUMX% of the rental income by the tax office.

Sublease type

This is a method in which profitable real estate owned by an individual landlord is rented all at once to an established asset management company, and the asset management company then rents it out to general tenants.Since the risk of vacancies is borne by the asset management company, the sublease fee can be set higher than the management fee of the management consignment type management contract type, and it will be about XNUMX to XNUMX% of the rent income assumed for full occupancy.

Direct holding type

In this method, the asset management company owns the profitable real estate and manages the rental property.All rental income from real estate rental will belong to the company, and capital gains (or capital losses in some cases) when selling real estate will also belong to the company.

Limited liability company can be established at low cost

As mentioned above, there are not many disadvantages of a limited liability company between a stock company and a limited liability company in real estate investment at the individual level.

We will introduce the procedure for establishing a limited liability company.
