They mentioned that the family member began debt consolidation 20 months ago, the way debt consolidation works the company lets it go into collections I am concerned that if the person files for bankruptcy.Even just one of 3 family member file a bankruptcy 7, can they stay 3 to 5 months without paying rent?

My business partner owns a roofing company but has weak credit and more limited cash flow.An LLC is a common choice for partnerships since it protects personal assets and simplifies tax management.

If the loan officer asks you about your debts, you can ask clarifying questions such as are you asking for personal debts or business debts?

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

Over the years, I managed 3 offices and a 12-person team, and I got tired of bloated CRMs with monthly fees.

That will depend on the taxpayer's personal situation.

This strategy has worked well for me personally. 

Or can you still run everything through your personal return (just want to make sure that I can deduct things such as HOA fees which I can do if it is a rental).2) If I do decide to run everything thru my personal tax return (save on LLC fees), should I at the least set up a separate bank account to track costs separately?

Above just the assumption that it'd be far more of a corporate environment, I just don't think that would happen at a larger shop, at least not for quite awhile, and I do think I would generally be more at home with a smaller office of people (smaller being relative to multi-national, or coast-to-coast, I suppose).Personally speaking, do you find that you're in that type of environment with a boutique brokerage?
