Taxes . . . the LLC has the most flexibility, since it is normally taxed as a partnership. Actively-earned income, such as management fees, are best earned through the S corp to avoid self-employment tax.
S-Corp & LLC - Posted by Elwood

I formed a S-Corp to hold my real estate investments. I plan on purchasing both homes for resell in lease options and rentals for a long-term investment. I have thought about forming an LLC to hold my property management business. I buy the property, transfer it to my S- Corp, then have my LLC handle the property management. I plan on having my S-corp pay the property management fee to my LLC. Does this sound like a good idea? I thought this would give me added liability protection as a property manager/Landlord and separate the two businesses, especially if I want to contract management services for other investors’ properties in the future.

You have it backwards: the LLC should own the rentals, and the corp should be paid the management fee.

What is the reasoning behind having it set up the way you suggested?
