Owner-Occupant

Categories: Real Estate

You're the landlord. And you live there. You're the owner. So you get all the benefits of, uh, paying yourself rent. (Taxable as income to your corporation in which you own said apartment building, if you do have profits.)

The big bennie? You get to make the apartments nice. The way you like 'em. Pink walls. Green ceilings. Muffy and Buffy carpeting. And the Yuppsville, Inc. sign at the door.

Good work if you can get it. We'll take issue with your decorating tastes, however.
