My partners are Cayman Residents and in need of Tax Advise as to how to structure the LLC in a Tax efficient manner.

Always interested in something that can improve operations.

In our recent acquisition of a 34 SFR rental portfolio, we are exploring different approaches to handle this efficiently.

The real estate market is not a very efficient market, it is heavily influenced by deeply human factors.

Despite current unemployment rates maintaining below 5%, the recent rise from 3.8% to 4.2%(recently revised to 4.1%) is significant, especially when considering wage growth adjusted for inflation.Over the last few years, the median household income has dropped by 7.2% when adjusted for inflation (and this isn't even considering volatile food and energy prices), a troubling trend given that inflation has outstripped income growth.

A good Accountant or Bookkeeper will work with you to tie out all your accounts and let you know any issues or advice as it comes up throughout the year.I would be more than happy to chat with you more about your finances, I was one of the few Bookkeepers to be invited to BiggerPocket's Financial Service offers and have been working with them on ways to improve it as I help more and more investors with their Books. 

Rockford seems to be improving, but what areas are a "no go" for buy and holds?

Do improvements while living there.You can technically do this every 12 months, or as soon as you can save up your next down payment.You can also buy 2-4 unit properties and use FHA to put only 3.5% down.

When I asked about this I was more or less told that because they run the purchase/sale through the agent's brokerage firm it makes the process more efficient and there are all these moving parts etc.

I know Property Meld has something built into their Maintenance dashboard where it asks for reviews after maintenance issues are handled and I think if they rate 4 or 5 starts they then ask for a google review and if it's 3 or below it stays internal and gets circulated around so the team can figure out what went wrong and improve on it.
