If you did finance some of the purchase using a non-recourse loan, then you need to read up on UBTI/UDFI and there are some taxation benefits that the IRA can achieve since it now owes taxes in that scenario.

Once you close on your property:- You need to get a Phila tax IDhttps://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/tax...- Then you need to register for a commercial activity licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...- Once you have a commerical activity license you can finally get your rental licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...All of the above will be done using the eClipse online portal systemIf your property is built before 1978:The system will kick back your application and you will not be able to get a rental license until you get a Lead Safe test.This is when you will hire a licensed 3rd party to come out and doing a lead test for you.
