@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

I have been looking into what kind of lending options I would be eligible for on properties for BRRRR or flips.

Most dscr lenders will not do loans under $100k but if the property is not in the usda eligibility zone, the same lender I quoted above will do loans under $100k. 

Electrical next but mostly for eligibility purposes. 

Also, be sure to check with the section 8 agency managing the tenants - sometimes if you pass on an additional cost like that they will no longer be eligible to live there if the rent and utilities exceed what they were approved for.

If they have not paid, then in Los Angeles, you're eligible to file for eviction 30 days after putting the notice on their door.

Wanted to know if landscaping is a tax deductable expense in general and if it differs when one unit is owner occupied.

A HELOC on your duplex or home offers flexible, low-interest financing ideal for BRRRR, with potential tax-deductible interest if used for property expenses.

The Big plus is the tax deductions they will be able to take as well!!! 

Also why are you deducting 50% for expenses?
