@Helen De la rosaYou’re welcome.

Given the complexity and potential tax-saving opportunities in real estate, it's wise to consider hiring a CPA with expertise in this field.Many clients who work with non-specialists find that their non-real estate preparers lack the specific knowledge to help them minimize taxes through strategies like depreciation, the de minimis safe harbor, partial asset dispositions, 1031 exchanges, navigating real estate professional status, the short-term rental loophole, and more.If you are looking to qualify as a real estate professional, use the short-term rental strategy, or complete a 1031 exchange, I would without a doubt recommend working with a real estate CPA.

Delaware or Texas or does it make no difference whatsoever?

Quote from @Paul De Luca: @Brian CoffeyWhat's the projected cash flow keeping the units as 3 bedrooms vs 4 bedrooms?

In Delaware we are required to give the tenant 48-hour written notice of entry (sent by certificate of mailing) unless they agree to something earlier.  

., DE, GA, HI, IA, ID, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, RI, SC, SD, VT, and WYIs that new?

So, if you form in Delaware, for example, and want to flip houses in New York, you will still need to register to do business in New York.

Hi, Cheryl, I know this is an ancient post, but I just happened to run across it and it's still relevant and had no responses, so I figured it wouldn't hurt if I chimed in.I'm a landlord and I operate a lead dust sampling business in Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties in PA.
