One of my clients is going to start a residential house buy & sell business then eventually go into owning residential rentals. Plans to title each house to an LLC. Single member LLC so no P'Ship required but he wants to know if he elects S-Corp tax status, will that help his taxes. I am thinking probably not due to the rental business but I wanted to run this past you tax scholars.

But if he keeps it as an SMLLC, without electing S-Corp treatment, then the LLC is disregarded for federal income tax purposes. There aren't enough details to know whether it would be Schedule E or Schedule C.
