What they will do if your DIY-ed cost segregation is audited is they will send you an engineer (you pay travel costs) to conduct a "real" cost segregation study and present it to the IRS instead of yours.5.

Possibly should have done something about the deposit but everything that happened with him moving out was essentially conducted without notice to me and it's hard to say now whether I even found out he wasn't there within 30 days of his actually moving out.4.

I haven't conducted a variance myself but I often hear about investors delegating that work to a specialized attorney familiar with the scope of work.

In this case, you would generally be required to register your LLC as a foreign entity in the state where you're conducting these activities because the income is active, not passive.Gray Areas:Hybrid Cases: If you are managing the property actively (e.g., handling leases, repairs, tenant relations directly), some states may view this as doing business and require you to register.Ultimately, it is state-dependent, and some states may have stricter definitions of what constitutes "doing business."

Hi Nida,I'm a bit late to the party but better late than never I guess lolIn the search bar here on Bigger Pockets or even a Google research will reveal a lot of info about certain companies.I'd always like to joke around and say that "Google is your best friend" when looking to work with someone new lolI'd like to second Jason's comment who has been around the turnkey game for a long time and has probably conducted due diligence on many if not all turnkey providers over the years.Not many have stood the test of time and I'm proud to say that we have.Not intending to plug my company as we have many battle scars that started from day 1.But still here and still battling away 🤓Why we survived and thrived unlike many others was keeping our operation small and boutique and only doing deals on our terms.Low volume sales and thorough investor pre-qualification (As not everyone that has a pulse is necessarily a good fit for what we can provide).Some investors did better than others but one thing I can happily say is that we always did our best for all.I believe a very important component to any "true" turnkey company is that the penny ultimately drops must drop with them.Meaning, if you invest and things don't go the way as planned it is entirely up to them to rectify.No finger pointing or passing on the monkey to someone else (Like a realtor, contractor or PM).A true turnkey company stands behind it's properties, rehabs and in-house property management.Key phrase here is "in-house property management".Everything must be under the same roof and the provider must take all responsibility for the outcome of that investment.Wishing you much success

Insight on Your Proposed PlanTitle Search and MemorandumTitle Search: Conducting a title search is a good idea regardless of the structure to ensure there are no outstanding liens, claims, or legal issues that could complicate your plans.Memorandum: Filing a memorandum or recording the contract with the county provides some protection by clouding the title and ensuring your equitable interest is recognized.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

@Jason Xenakisif you're serious about this, go there in person, meet agents in person, build a network in person, and conduct your property search in person.and if you can't go there in person, don't buy out of state.as @Russell Brazil mentioned, the market is unforgiving right now. 

You can keep the same entity to conduct real estate transactions but it’s important to update to the operation agreement before doing so.

Does anyone have insights on how sheriff sales are conducted in Louisiana?
