I am trying to grow to the next level...
I am hard working, passionate and ambitious.
I have 1 rental, in the form of an ADU, attached to my personal property.
I now have a HELOC ready to buy my next property. In order to grow my portfolio, I have decided to sit down with my attorney and start an LLC.
Aside from this complex (in my opinion) aspect, I just don’t know where or how to learn about the “how to start a business” side. Where did you learn? I want to know what I should be filing for taxes, what benefits I could use through the business vs personal. I would love some guidance about the business side of things.
The deals, financing, strategy, relationship with tenants understand ...but how do you run a business?
Would love any book recommendations for real estate business starting out. How to grow a portfolio etc
Thank you!!!!

“Tax free wealth” by Tom Wheelwright and “Multi-family millions” by David Lindahl were both very informative. Best of luck!
