Quote from @Account Closed: For someone rebuilding their real estate business and looking to transition into larger multifamily deals, what’s the most effective way to position yourself as a valuable partner in syndications—especially when capital is limited but market knowledge, deal-finding ability, and local expertise are strengths?

We currently accept rent from tenants using a variety of 3rd party apps-Cashapp, Venmo, Zelle but are moving away from accepting payments in our individual names and want to start accepting payments directly to the LLC/business accounts, but LLC accounts do not accept Zelle and there is a fee for using business accounts on Venmo.

@Dallas Smith, With some good running of the numbers by your accountant this can work. 

These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

That’s like depositing $300 into a savings account every month.Plus, it’s an investment property, so you can depreciate it to save on taxes.More Than $1,500This isn’t just about making $1,500 in rent—it’s about building long-term wealth.

Most likely your conclusion is correct, but the only way to confirm it is by having a real estate accountant review your tax situation.Also, please read this introduction if you want to better understand the concept:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

You can still find homes in these markets, among others, that are priced between $160k to $275k that still provide passive income, allowing your residents to pay down your mortgage, cover your other expenses and still have excess money to either save in an account for future investing or pay down your existing mortgage faster. 

A great deal of accountants work with out of state clients.

The ultimate answer is no (and I'm not a tax accountant).
