$12k a year for CA Fair Plan?  Has it gone up that much from 2022?  From google...
In a 2022 interview with KCRA, a FAIR Plan spokesperson stated that the average cost of a policy is about $3,200 per year

 I like using Innago.  Reasonable fees for renters...$35 for app, $2 for ACH rent deposit. Chat feature has answered every question so far.  Will post open properties to most major sites including realtor.com

I'm ready to sign an offer to purchase on a property that has water in the basement/foundation cracks.  The offer includes an inspection contingency. The contingency states Defects do not includes those the Buyer had actual knowledge or written notice of.  (I do have written notice of with Condition Report).  My question is if inspection turns up foundation damage will cost much more than what I expect and budgeted for...  E.g., will cost $20k, when I estimate $10k.. may I legally void the offer after the inspection? (assuming Seller will not cure).

Quote from @Mason Liu:

You are going to need to consult a tax professional on this. The K1 could show you have ordinary income, deductions, capital gains etc depending on what the investment opportunity was and how they managed and exited the investment vehicle. Depending on what type of income/payout you received from the deal (as shown by the K1), there may be chances to offset some of those tax concerns from the K1 with real estate or other vehicles. 

You should be receiving some type of quarterly statement from the GPs of the deal showing how they are doing and what the NAV of your LP ownership is, including income you've received. You can share that with your accountant and start to have a conversation now of what your tax liability (if any) from this deal may look like and start to develop plans on how to potentially mitigate those if they are substantial.


 Thanks, we've asked and paid 3 CPAs, 1 was a "tax strategist", no strategies or real understanding from any.

Hi, my wife is expecting a K1 equity payout this year.  Can we use our current investment propeties or purchase another investment property purchase to at least slightly offset the tax hit?

Quote from @Shawn McCormick:

If you are planning to buy in a 55+ community, you won't be able to STR it almost 100% of the time unless it is some obscure place.


 Hmmm.. I own a home in The Villages, I can short term rent through Airbnb 100% of the time.

I subscribed to rentredi 4 months ago, to market, then collect rent on a single family home.  Marketing went well, with it being pushed out to realtor.com, etc.   We got the tenant through rentredi/realtor.com.   However, not trying to set up autopay through rentredi has been a nightmare.  Clunky website, almost nonexistant online support is making me to find a new rent payment site.
