The company making the offering must take reasonable steps to verify that an investor is accredited, which may include checking financial statements, tax returns, or receiving confirmation from a broker-dealer, attorney, or certified public accountant.These regulations reflect a balance between making capital more accessible for businesses and protecting investors from risks associated with unregistered securities.

You will get away from income taxes and annual registration fees by going to the townships, but your property taxes skyrocket which may offset some of the rent increases.

I would wonder if the previous owner owed them money and they dont believe ownership changed. 

Most of them do not and can even hurt you - as your S-corp with rentals. yeah this was under the guidance of the tax professional i went to.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

Completely agree with the original post but an LLC is NOT a tax vehicle.

I am doing this now and included Seller's transfer tax.

A 1031 Exchange is also known as the Tax- Deferred Exchange, which allows the different shareholders as well as different depositors to reinvest the profits that these people had acquired as well as earned, most particularly when it comes from the different financial transactions of the property that the investor had advanced without acquiring different taxes from the government.

@Catherine Javier If you find the property is more of a liability to you and ultimately decide to sell, the 1031 exchange would probably be the best way to take advantage of using the tax and find something with a greater growth potential.
