If you only have one LLC and don’t need entity tracking, you could get a lower subscription and categorize your properties as ‘customers’, then units and tenants would be sub-customers.Simple Start would allow you to invoice your tenants (if desired through QBO) and produce basic reports.

Looking for any creative input on how something like this could be structured.Taking part of the purchase price of real estate as a charitable donation and using said deduction to lower your taxes is tantamount to sending a cover letter to the IRS with your return requesting an audit.

If it's already turnkey that means you're paying higher rates than necessary when you could put 20% down and get a DSCR loan with lower rates and fees.

Getting the lower unit separately metered seems like a pain.

There a handful that can do lower  than 620 at 50% LTV, however the rate will be very high My current score is around 670-680.
