@Natalie JohnstoneA Delaware LLC won't prevent a lawsuit in California. 

.- Gardening maintenance (just to prevent the grass from getting too high, not an improvement).- In-year tax consultation ($300).- Commission to my buyer’s agent ($300).- Insurance premium ($1,000).- Insurance deductible following a claim ($1,000).I believe the property won’t begin to depreciate until it’s in service, which seems to align with how TurboTax is set up.

In my local MLS (Mid Carolina Region MLS), wholesaling has left a bad taste in buyer/sellers minds, so the MLS is creating rules to basically prevent wholesaling. 

Those relationships are key to preventing such issues.From my perspective...What Not To Do:Expect that others are doing their jobs.

That prevents one spouse from selling a property with homestead rights without knowledge of the person sharing those.   

It is unfortunately one of the biggest misconceptions amongst new investors and leads to unnecessary start up expenses.

I am of an age that I don’t want to fight those unnecessary battles when the problems arise.

Also, is there some prevision I can put in the lease to prevent the tenant from blocking the drive access to the ADU/Boat and from physically messing with my stuff, such as a fee.

Southern impression is primarily a single family home builder and their floorplans are all too large for profitability. they are overbuilding each unit and adding unnecessary things like garages that don't get you any income and only drive the construction values up. a garage on it's own isn't with much more than what it's built for and doesn't really add to the equity gain in new construction 

The estoppel is designed to confirm all information with all parties and prevent the landlord or tenant from lying about something.
