@Basit Siddiqi, thank you for your response. Our LLC is just between my husband and I and partnerships are with us and partners. What's the right way to do it? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response Ashish. Our partnership is with my husband and two other partners. We cant file both 8825 under the business return and schedule E on our personal tax return? And once we do that route putting everything on schedule E it's hard to put it back in our LLC in the future. How about implication on our LLC and liability vs our personal assets? That's what I'm concern the most. If properties are in LLC then there would be at least separation of our personal asset and that of LLC. Thank you!

Hi guys, need help with our tax returns. We've been going back and forth with the lender and our accountant. We do have LLC; two houses in Huntington Beach with ADUs, STR in Big Bear under our name and our LLC and two STRs in Smokies with partners under two different partnerships per property. Goal is to purchase our primary residence in the future and both my husband and I have W2s. My question is, underwriter of our lender is saying to reflect all properties in our personal tax return schedule E page 1 and not in 8825 in the business returns. On the other hand, my accountant is saying once we do that since we've been filing everything through our LLC return in the past we don't have means to go back and we're putting ourselves at risk of being audited. He wanted to separate business returns from personal. Just wanted to see what everyone's doing when you have W2,LLC and partnerships. Do you put all your properties in schedule E page 1 or personal tax return or file separate through LLC and partnerships? What's the best way to maximize tax write off at the same time still get approved with future loans to upgrade our primary residence(looking to buy minimum of $1.5M worth of property)? Thoughts? Ideas? Experience? Any help or advice regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!

Hey guys,

I have a few questions. I'm in escrow on a 5 bed, 5 bath single family house and plan to rent out rooms to travel nurses or other monthly tenants. I've never considered renting out units monthly, so I haven't really done my research on midterms. Only on STRs and LTRs, so I feel like I'm out of my depths in a short period of time. Do you recommend renting out rooms on Airbnb, FurnishedFinder, or VRBO? Or all of the above? I know there are pros and cons to everything, but I don't have much time to learn everything before closing. I would love any advice on the subject. Thank you in advance!

Additionally, each room has a bathroom. It has two kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs. Before it was renovated, it had a third kitchen (it may have been a kitchenette).


 Hello,

We are in Huntington beach and we host travel nurses 

We also own a cabin in big bear and 2 other cabins in tennessee 

We are familiar with STR and MTR.

WE can talk..

 Ahh, I get it now. Good idea to put it on the market so no one can say it was rigged. Too bad a LL even has to go through this IMO.....it's your property, charge what you want..


 Yes,He's a good tenant and dont mind paying higher rent as long as its renovated..Its just I want to cover myself and not do anything illegally..

I see what you're doing.

California limits how much you can increase the rent. To get around this, you want to terminate the lease and move the tenant out, renovate the unit, then start a new lease with the tenant at a rate higher than what the law allows for rent increases. Right?

Your plan should work. I'm not aware of any time limit, particularly if the Tenant agrees to it. You're not increasing rent on an existing tenant, so the limits do not apply. Once they move out, the relationship is terminated. You can then put the property back on the market for whatever price you want.

However . . . I would be careful about this. You are in the most regulated, litigious corner of the world and people can sue for anything. It may work with the current renter, but another renter may catch wind of your "loophole" process and decide to file a complaint or sue. If it were me, I would market the property to the public after renovation so it doesn't look like you were just renovating for the purpose of increasing rent on the current Tenant.


 Yes,This is what im trying to do but the tenant is ok with doing that.

He likes the house and the area and doesnt mind paying higher rent as long as it is renovated..

Thank you for your input..

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:

Sure, if they're leaving voluntarily. You can do whatever you want....


 yes,But when can they come back and re-sign a lease with higher rent?

Like legally??

Quote from @Theresa Harris:

If they gave 60 days' notice, then they need to leave in 60 days.  As for when they move back in, that depends on the length of the remodel.


 lets say remodel only takes 3weeks.Can I take them back and ask for a higher rent lets say from $800 to $1,100?btw,its in CAalifornia..

Thank you
