I do not have 5 layers of management that make my rates higher, no lender I work with pays for my office space, licensing, benefits, marketing department, compliance department.... 

Truthfully, I am not that big on coaching programs BUT, I can understand the benefits of having someone in your corner teaching and coaching you on the ins and outs of real estate investing every week. 

Forming an LLC for your rental property can offer liability protection, but no real tax benefit.

Benefiting from a high sale price in a desirable area.Cons of Selling: No further long-term appreciation or rental income potential from the property.

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.

Regarding the payout inefficiencies, I remember the nightmare that some folks were experiencing with state unemployment benefits during Covid.

I dont want to do that because some of the folks that ping me I am interested in helping out especially on deals that are not buy and hold how to be a landlord related..

This will provide insight into making informed decisions and accessing the benefits that these properties offer.

Hopefully any BP members in the LA situation can benefit from the thought process.  

Private funding from a relative may provide flexible terms and reduced financial risk, but formal agreements are necessary, and interest paid is deductible for you but taxable for them.Traditional investment property loans offer stability and tax benefits like deductible interest and property taxes but require larger down payments.
