A: There are multiple factors to consider, and you will be much better off discussing the matter in a one-hour consult with a lawyer. Be prepared to answer questions like:

• are there any non-resident owners or investors

• are there potential liabilities in any of the separate acquisitions

• what is the cash flow picture anticipated immediately and over time

• will the properties be commercial or residential

There are many other questions that will enter into a seasoned answer to your question, but it can be reasonably sorted out by a discussion with experience counsel.
