From my perspective splitting utilities helps to show everyone has an equal stake in the property rather then incorporating it into the rent and removes the impression that you don't contribute to all the bills. 

We are wondering if we should transfer the New York residence or incorporate it into our LLC that we have for the Florida rental property so that we can receive a larger line of credit to use as properties become available for purchase.

When I walked out of that office, people had smirks on their faces expecting me to be back in Corporate America within 3 months because ya know, "it's tough out there, 90% of startups fail, real estate is risky and the list goes on".

@Dan LingerI started investing when I was in corporate America and it didn’t stop me.

And think about how you can incorporate being open into your life and investing career.Best of luck!

In your state of California, I would imaine it more likely for a judge to disregard your incorporation and hold you liable.

You can put her on the deed and not have to put her name on anything at the bank...My wife is the type of wife that if Im buying properties without here involvement she is gonna think I may leave her one day and she is left with nothing...Some women just have this security thing, Im sure if she was the bread winner and didnt want you on any of her stuff it would make you have second thoughts about your relationship as well.A couple years ago I opened a business and when I went to get incorporated I wanted all the shares in my name....OMG I still hear about that crap...I guess it just comes down to the type of relationship you and her have, she may not care if you put her on it or not.

My particular method unfortunately is grab a chair, photo copy everything, and spend a lot of time trying to decipher exactly what the "official" stats on a building are.Anyone have a time saving idea for going about this?  

If I apply for the commercial loan to finance 10 units building, do I need to be incorporated?

@Jay Hinrichs from looking in the window they first time I didn't see any burnt materials any where just chairs wood and tools from the last contractors I'm going to go look again for more of some insight. @ Derrick Craig thank you for that advice precaite it and everybody does like that Green pie
