-Transfer the property into an LLC – This may allow me to take ownership while potentially avoiding property tax reassessment, however this sounds like an involved process-Establish a living trust for my aunt and mother – The trust would specify that I inherit the property upon their passing and provide step up in cost basis but i'm worried that the living trust can be modified to have me removed (who knows what can happen) - My mother is somewhat volatile.I would like to live in the property and my mother will live in her second property with her husband.

Quote from @Cheryl Abram: What legal filed docs are LPs entitled to see to help validate a deal's failure?

I was involved in a bunch of industries—from wellness and gyms to digital marketing and consumer products.

A CPA can ensure proper filing of rental income on Schedule E and help identify tax-saving strategies, such as optimizing deductions for maintenance, repairs, and travel.

One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

If you aren't already aware what happens after the 1031 exchange, you may have to file tax returns every year for Oregon AND Portland every year after you sell.
