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

I have just under five rental properties and I understand the legal benefits of creating an LLC (married to a lawyer).

The city also benefits from a relatively low cost of living compared to other major cities, attracting both renters and investors.

Alternatives include seller financing, a lease option, or using an LLC or trust to structure the deal while maintaining tax benefits.

I figured that people would see the dimmers and at least give me the benefit of the doubt, and they did.Then I got comment No. 2 on the same problem, brought in my electrician, and he saw and explained that the lights had been incorrectly wired when I bought the place.

It’s a straightforward process that offers benefits to both buyers and sellers.

Is my thinking correct that homes in highly appreciated areas won't benefit as much from Cost Seg. 

Not sure how it works but if you can also get health benefits for your retirement then that will be even better as that is also something you will not get as an agent. 

Each have their benefits and drawbacks.

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