Real estate has definitely captured my interest, so it's exciting to learn and to actually be going through the motions.

First, LLC don't have shares, they have membership interest.Second, your heirs get the step up basis at the time of your death, you just need to have proper documentation or appraisal to show the current value of your LLC at that time.Third, even with shares of corporation you get the step up basis (like your brokerage account).But anything transferred before your death, LLC or not does not get step up basis.You own an LLC containing property and gift $10k of LLC interest to your daughter through the uniform gifts to minors act.

Thanks in advance - I'm stuck on how to proceed with loan in motion and how to close with the most privacy, if possible.

They might need a judge's order to pause it but if you and the trustee agree it's a simple motion that you could draft yourself. 

I wanted to create order and something that could be replicated but was realizing the lack of uniformity was incredible.

Since this is, now, going to be flip to retail buyer having a uniform appearance in flooring is more important than it would be for a rental.

However, if you want to keep communication consistent across multiple platforms that generate leads for you, OwnerRez might be a better choice for centralizing your messaging.You can use OwnerRez for messaging to ensure a uniform communication experience for guests from various platforms.

If they dont pay, you have everything already in motion.

The neighborhood HOA passed a motion to limit the number of rental properties.  

We do prefer adding our own design to places, but we understand many of those resorts/HOAs have uniform design in every unit.Thanks!
