or, to put it slightly differently, how do you separate sincere policy proposals from ploys? 

I recently separated from the military and pursued a career as an Avionics Electrician, I love what I do but want my time back so I can spend it with my family.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

@Warren Barton  Having your property manager pay you through your LLC EIN offers better liability protection by separating personal and business assets. 

I learned that separation wall for a duplex could be a fire wall.

Does the GP equity sit in same class as LP shares, or is it separate?  

I have not heard of an extension as of yet.Your 100 hours is related to material participation for STR not the real estate professional status, they are two separate items but in a way can be connected (kinda).I'm not sure what you mean by "sell it for no bonus depreciation recapture" because you are required to take depreciation, if you don't the IRS should calculate your tax as if you did.Your head is in the right place and I wish you luck but would highly recommend consulting with a tax professional before proceeding if this is your plan.Best of luck Dennis!

This is separate from the tax treatment of the insurance proceeds.Your CPA's suggestion of not doing a partial disposition and instead offsetting the insurance proceeds with the cost of the new roof might be less favorable in terms of tax planning.

Then if time allows I’d also like to add each property in a separate tab and maybe create a dashboard showing the full portfolio.

Hi Everyone,I recently separated from the military and was planning to use my VA home loan to start my investment journey.
