California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

You may need to play around with how you word your request, so you won't get charged for an excessive amount of pages. 

There are lots of ways you could do this, but the execution is largely up to you.Most of the private lenders I have worked with were experienced real estate investors themselves with excess cash they wanted to put to work. 

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

Our first two projects were conservative by choice and combined yielded in excess of mid six figure return. 

I did eventually find a carrier in the Excess/Surplus lines that would write the insurance. 

The double transfer of title between LLC and personal name looks excessive.

My goal is to own more rental properties, and was wondering whats the best strategy to achieve this, with regards to what to do with monthly excess money. 

If they rented sight unseen, there should have been an as-is clause in the lease because of that.It does seem excessive given the handyman found nothing at move out (and assuming he did a good job of the inspection).
