Hi everybody,

I recently created an LLC which will play as the property management for my rentals. I had all the paperwork made to my current address (I am the registered agent) then recently moved to another house and planning on moving out in another year most likely.

First question, apart from filling the change of address with the Secretary of State, and the state comptroller, is there a form to fill out with the IRS (or does the state comptroller info will be automatically fed to the irs?)

Second question, since I will be moving often, I am reluctant to set all that up to my home address. I wanted to get a PO box and have everything related to real estate go there but the registered agent cannot be a PO box address. Do you know if the address given to the comptroller/IRS can be a PO box?

I am thinking about two options, opening a UPS box (which gives you a street address) and have all my stuff sent there but they are expensive! Especially that I do not plan on receiving much stuff.

Or have a more affordable PO box, have everything sent there except the few things that require a full street address which I will put to my home address and change every time I move.

Thank you for your help

Good initiative Jorge De Jesus , I run on Saturday mornings at 6:30 and will be interested in coming. I might not look very professional though.

@Jorge De Jesus thanks! I will try to see if I can make it but I will actually be moving that day so I will most likely be tied the whole day.

Thanks everyone for so many great advice! I will make sure to use the form to see if applicants can verify the purpose of each ESA.

@Michele Fischer, thanks for sharing the form, greatly appreciate! If the prospective tenant say that they have two assistance animals, do they need to have two different purposes ?

Appreciate your input @Thomas S.

Hi,

Recently put my first rental on the market (SFH) in Texas. I recently got prospective tenants mentioning that they had two service dogs including a german shepherd. I think they actually meant ESA instead of service animal.

Anyway, I spoke with my insurance broker who gave me the list of prohibited dogs (and I know, you can't discriminate for breed for service or ESA dogs) but he pretty much told me that I would not be able to get coverage for those breeds which should qualify as an undue burden ??? as I would lost coverage and according to him, the only coverage that would allow those dogs would exclude any liability associated with the animal putting me and my family in danger.

Other reason is that according to the fair housing act, Applies to virtually all forms of housing, whether for sale or rent. The exceptions include "private owners who do not own more than three single-family houses, do not use real estate brokers or agents, and do not use discriminatory advertisements." Apparently I do not even have to comply with FHA which kind of baffles me, Am I correct on this? Which would mean that I could flat out refuse service dogs and ESA?

That is all concerning federal laws, what about Texas laws? I looked through the Texas Property code for rental properties and did not find any mention of either service dogs or ESA.

Thanks for your help !

I'm not an expert but you will probably have to wait to get updated pictures once the rehab is done. Your pictures were confusing to me. There is a picture of a finished kitchen then some more pictures of unfinished work. I think that might confuse prospective tenants.

@Matthew Gullo sorry about that. It was different on the mobile app, I could not see the top part.

Matthew Gullo , I am interested , can I have the day, time and address ? Thanks

@Tony Castronovo, I do not think that they have been meeting, @Account Closed is that correct ?
