there are some advantages to having the business buy the house.
In reality most people buy property personally, then lease it to their business (at a profit).
But consider that every expense that I can charge to my company costs me less compared to purchasing it myself. It is a business expense, lowering my profit and business taxes. It doesn't come out of my pocket, so no income tax on it either. Now you have to use it in your business, but there are times when you will get a benefit from it too.
I guess if you used to house to put up visiting Doctors or held conferences or something it would be a business expense, but it would give you someplace nice to put up the in-laws too. (which I suppose there would be some "imputed income" on that if you bothered to report it, but you would still save $)
BTW - I'm not the tax expert in the family, so don't take any of this as advice!
