How important is it to get with CPA to assist with tax benefits.

If they are in a challenging financial position, I might offer to assist with moving costs.

Looking to connect with like minded individuals in the Kansas City, Kansas area!

The commission paid greatly outweighs having to go back on the market and potentially getting less than you listed it for the first time.Some individual markets are better for this than others, but if you have an agent with a great strategy on the list side (professional photos, staging advice, etc) and you pair that with listing the property at a low price; you increase your chances dramatically of getting a bidding war and not only offsetting the commission but potentially making more than originally planned. 

I'm excited to join this community and connect with like-minded individuals passionate about real estate investing.

Individual LLC, Parent/Child LLC, Trusts, etc.

Which would make the LLC disregarded and the property would go on your individual tax return on Schedule E.

Sure one unit may have more occupants than the other, etc. but this is quite simply the simplest way and quite arguably the fairest way because of the issues with rubs above ; ESPECIALLY when this understood by the Tenant before moving in -- instead of focusing on utilities for the individual (RUBS) you are focusing on utilities for the space.

My goal is to learn from experienced members, exchange insights, and build connections with like-minded individuals who are passionate about growing in the real estate market.

I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, learning from your experiences, and sharing my journey in real estate investing.
