I'm not sure about these, but there are public limited partnerships that anyone can buy like a stock.

If you don't realize what you are getting into, you may regret it because you will get a K-1 at tax time.

I don't know if it's any more of a tax dodge than an REIT.

These structures characterize cash flows as return on capital, which defer taxation.

There’s a bunch of games played.

I didn't think it deferred taxation; just the opposite.

That's what I was referring to about the K-1; you pay taxes on the income of the partnership even if you didn't sell any shares.

It depends on your situation.

For an smaller scale individual, the paperwork is a pain unless the entity is designed to be used by an individual.
