I don't see a need to incorporate in more than one state.

I would so appreciate insights from others who have experience with a rent-to-own model at scale or who have started a non-profit with incorporating real estate. 

Most incorporated cities have their own rules.

You can start with the city website www.coj.net for the building department or property appraiser or the tax collectors office www.taxcollector.coj.net As for the structure of your deal just read the forums about llc v Incorporated and all the good information that can be found in there.One other thing I did with my units that many may not agree with is that I get a general liability coverage for each llc related to that llc and I would get an umbrella policy for you as well.

Incorporating technology into the process increases efficiency and precision and allows for deeper insight.Prior to implementing the new technology, a cost segregation study would require professionals to spend much time going over the architectural blueprints and conducting extremely thorough site visits in order to be able to classify the assets into the correct category.

I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids -- and I might even be said to possess a mind.

With Prop 1 nearly mortgage-free and roughly equivalent in value to Prop 3, I'm pondering the best way to structure these assets and the new development for optimal tax impact, equity maximization, and risk mitigation.Considering a New StructureOne idea is to create a trust or family limited partnership (LP), incorporating an LLC to hold these properties.
