Sounds like you would benefit from the accrual method not just for taxes but also to keep accurate track of money in vs out. To explain it as simple as I can when recording accrual method record your income when it is earned and expenses when incurred. This can work even if you receive the net income the following month (which is normal for some PMs) What I do for my clients is record the rental income the day is earned let say October 1 and then record any expenses when they are billed even if they have not be paid yet example Hvac maintenance billed Oct 2. Once the net amount clear in November bank statement make any journal adjustment necessary so your debit and credit are balanced. 

I hope that helps :)

@Anita Paris Not 100% sure about this, but I think your registered agent needs to be in Texas if your LLC is in TX.

AI generated....

To be a registered agent in Texas, an individual or business entity must meet the following requirements:

• Be a Texas resident
• Be at least 18 years old
• Have a physical address in Texas that is not a P.O. box
• Be available at that address during regular business hours
• Consent to serve
• Be willing to disclose their physical address publicly

That is correct so this company has local office /agents in each state. They will use an address and individual who is local to the state your LLC is registered. I have an LLC in NJ and one OHIO and each have different address but same agent :)

Nice stuff, but where do you share tidbits about HOW you analyze properties, neighborhoods, etc.? 

Outlining them may help your business:)

 I go over this in my presentation. I used mostly pro-forma in excel depending on the type of deal :) so it's hard to outline that if every investor has different investment goal

Good morning all,

I am looking for recommendation on how to obtain foreclosures in New York? I've seen sites like Foreclosure.com. I already get a list from the county, but they are pre-foreclosures that were field. 

Any recommendation appreciated!

 Foreclosures in New York on average take years. since its a judicial state the courts will notice the foreclosure sale dates in the jurisdiction. so you can also check with courts/local sheriffs office

 That what I thought too but figure I would ask :( NY makes everything so complicated will definitely she local sheriffs office thank you!
