Funny how people argue about whether corporations are legal persons. For most practical purposes in the US, humans need corporations to certify that they are persons, via W2s. Life without a W2 is almost Hobbesian.

Interestingly enough, this fact has been a bigger stressor for me over the last decade than more real problems like cash flow crunches and health scares. Just exhausting playing lease application roulette every year or two. Home loans of course might as well be Everest.

I’m incorporated as an LLC. That kinda dodge doesn’t really help. It’s not the W2 per se but the underwriting from a bigger business entity. The big apartment companies aren’t stupid.

Replying to and
Used to have an S Corp and issue myself W2s. Changed to LLC. Doesn’t help. It’s not really a legal matter. It’s a risk underwriting matter. Specifics of paperwork are irrelevant. Lenders/landlords don’t like solopreneur risk profile that’s all.
