Selling your share at fair market value could avoid gift tax but may trigger capital gains tax for you based on the sale price and your cost basis.In California, the transfer may also trigger a property tax reassessment under Proposition 13 unless a specific exemption applies.

If the work needs updates, that’s where it can add up, but $30K sounds like a reasonable cushion based on what you’re describing.It sounds like a solid deal, especially if the cash flow is good.

If it didn't cash flow perfectly none of that mattered to me because I was buying buildings in good neighborhoods for the long-term generational wealth they'll create 5, 10, or 15 years down the road.

If the answer to the last question is yes, I think it'll be a hard choice.I see a reasonable appreciation rate for underwriting at about 6% based on neighborhood scout, so nominally I think you'll make 10-11% if you had paid cash which means I think you'll do quite well holding on (20% returns or so). 

I'm also based in California.

For now, we recommend using the 3rd parties listed in the below post.The beginning of the year is a perfect opportunity to get even with all those contractors who worked for you during 2023: report them to the almighty IRS and make them pay taxes on the money they received from you.

If you choose to play with fire, that is your perogative.For your reference, here is a good primer.Here is the key paragraph:Rental discrimination is when a landlord or property manager treats an applicant differently based on the applicant’s inclusion in a protected class.

My name is Zach Langley, and I’m a licensed realtor based in Dallas, TX.

Can you deny someone's application based on this despite it being a medical marijuana card & not technically breaking the rules of smoking indoors?

If that's the case, you should be able to rate/term refinance at ~75% LTV with a DSCR loan, and with some interest-only basis, your payment will go to ~$850 (based on ROUGH pricing TODAY).
