My intention was to minimize my reported taxable income after taking expenses against the earnings through the LLC.I don't see how this would benefit you tax wise.In fact, I would be concerned that by mixing personal business (rental property in your name) with the LLC that you could basically nullify the liability protection the LLC offers  allowing anyone who sues you to pierce your corporate veil because of this co-mingling. 

Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.

If they have any rules about short-term vs. long-term rentals, you’ll want to know upfront to avoid headaches.Also, keep an eye on tax implications – renting while living there can open up some sweet deductions. :) Sounds like you're setting yourself up for success!

When using a Roth IRA, your Roth IRA is a tax-exempt entity, therefore, any depreciation deductions that pass through the LLC, can't be used on your personal tax return.

He posted a question, similar to yours, He said he had 180k in liquid cash and he was looking to buy some 8 unit property where his entire 180k in capital plus more for all the closing costs and interest reserve and transfer taxes and the whole nine it would be near 200k. 

Hey David, For your lake house, implementing a 7-day minimum could work well, especially if you aim to take advantage of the short-term rental tax benefits, such as the "short-term rental loophole."
