Since technically my company was being paid the cost of the rehab & management fee, although I had deductions for labor & materials for federal taxation, the LOCAL government charged a 2% tax on the GROSS revenue.

While Roth IRAs allow distributions to be taken from non-taxable contributions first, on the 401k side distributions are a pro rata share of contributions and earnings, resulting in some taxation if those distributions are not qualified.

@Bill BrandtI'm estimating based upon Fed long term capital gain at 15%, Depreciation recapture at 25% on building value x .0363636 per year, and State CA tax at 9.3% ordinary income.Income brackets aside, that is an insane amount of tax 50k.Terry

@Matthew Meade look into the laws for short term rentals and taxation before you start up rules, regulations and taxation vary greatly from city to city

Property tax at the unit level would be in the event a multifamily was condo-ed out i.e. converted into individual condominium units.

@Charlie MooreTaxation is very broad and there is not one person who can specialize in everything within taxation.Very similar to medicine/health.You wouldn't want someone who practices general health for children to also be the one who does open-heart surgery.There are a couple of accountant's on this message board who specialize in real estate taxation.

Wyoming is by far the best state for taxation, asset protection and more.
