My day job is as an auditor at a large regional bank.

I am a Workers Comp insurance auditor, therefore I work with business owners everyday and it seems that many business owners are looking to sell and get out of the state due to a combination of wage increases, insurance requirements and the general CA work force.

Then departments, then assessor, auditor, recorder, etc. 

He talks about doing an accusation audit or finding out what their concerns are and being prepared for them as well as using mirroring techniques.

In my county (Hamilton County in Ohio), I can get on the auditor site at anytime, type in the address, put in my purchase price and see what my taxes will be.  

The bank we work with (And I'm in the process of talking to others) Has made the decision to not lend to us till we file 2015 taxes in 2016.Their auditors or whomever at the bank have made the decision to use our Actual revenues for 2014 (Which were effectively from 8 units), and take projected 2015 expenses (based on 18 units) leaving us with a DSCR too low to satisfy any further loans.Kind of blows my mind that they expect the increased expenses from the properties but don't consider all the new revenue sources. 

@Brittany Guimond no idea why you wouldn't have a business credit card to COMPLETELY separate your peronsal and business expenses.How likely do you think an IRS auditor will ask for all your personal credit card and bank account statements to test that you haven't reimbursed anything you shouldn't have?

Most investors get confused with Accounting for the books and Accounting for the Tax.For instance, I deal with the books (A/R, A/P, Closing Entries, and the likes) and I work closely with the Outside Accountant (usually CPA/tax accountants and sometimes Auditors).

I'm 25 years old and work full time as a tax accountant and auditor. 

If it's privacy you're after, you'll want to form the LLC and purchase the properties through them outright, otherwise there would be a paper trail if you were to purchase the property under your own name and then transfer it to the LLC (i.e. where I invest, the auditor website shows transfer history).
