Real Estate in an S Corporation?

Posted February 21st, 2008 by Megan Hughes
I came across this awhile ago - people taking title to real estate in the name of an S Corporation, and then trying to get around the “due on sale” clause at a later date by simply transferring the shares of the S Corporation to a new owner. It’s the same game as the Land Trust - where the property title stays static, while the property owners change behind the scenes.
But in this case, my first thought was “Why would you want to compromise your asset protection strategy?”
