You can't raise the rents in a fixed term lease but if it's month to month you may have the ability to make a change with notice (30 days is fair in my market).

This won't change the numbers at all, but it will correctly reflect the personal ownership of the RV.Since the RV is in our personal name, and our two LLCs use it for travel, should we treat the RV as a separate rental business (sole proprietor) and rent the RV out to our LLCs when needed for travel?

You used to be able to just put your place up and you’d make money but that’s definitely changed. 

For instance, things like death, divorce, job loss, natural disasters, heath issues, etc may cause you to change your plans unexpectedly and may change what you do with your home as a result.

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.

My metrics around this have changed.

Just add novation language allowing the change of buyer name and inform the title company and lender of the change ahead of time. 

As large investors entered the market to acquire single family houses, our margins were squeezed and we ultimately could not maintain our target investor returns as the market totally changed.

This was done to protect senior citizens on fixed incomes from being forced to sell their homes due to unaffordable property tax increases.Since the passing of this amendment, all properties in Michigan have two property tax values associated with them:State Equalized Value (SEV): supposedly equal to 50% of the market value of a property, not based on recent sales price.Taxable Value: the SEV annually capped as long as there is not a transfer of ownership.City Assessors are charged with determining how much property values have changed each year.

Do I need to fill out other forms such as a change of ownership?
