I would be happy to answer any questions on quality of location and/or properties, or any other question you might have. 

@donyea @Donyea Jenkins Im happy to help if you need an agent or if you just have a question about a property.

As I mentioned my only question would be something hopefully Dave or someone else can answer.

I have a very easy and quick answer to your question and it's a no-brainer.Don't buy rentals in California.

Have a baby, and gallop into the sunset (while still making calls to PM's)INTEREST:I first got interested in Real Estate Investing because of the potential financial freedom it can provide to me and my family. 

During this journey, I discovered the world of house flipping and real estate investing in the U.S.

I’m excited to start my real estate journey and want to make a smart, strategic move with this first property.

Partner B will get $220,000 + the single wide, while Partner A's heirs will get the apartment building and the double wide.They intend to sell one property ( the double wide mobile home ) and use the proceeds to either pay down the loan or reinvest in another rental property (possibly in another market).To defer capital gains tax, they plan to use a 1031 exchange for reinvestment.Goals & Challenges:Tax Efficiency – Structure the transfers and payments to minimize tax liabilities for Partner A’s Spouse and the Children.Guaranteed Income for Partner A’s Spouse – Ensure a fixed monthly payment of $1,100/month while transferring ownership to the Children.Long-Term Investment for the Children – Build a solid rental portfolio to support future financial growth.Operating the LLC Under New Ownership – Ensure a smooth transition, including removing Partner A’s Spouse and Partner B from the LLC structure.Proposed Plan & Questions for Advice:Instead of outright gifting the 50% interest, the LLC will be restructured so that Partner A’s Spouse retains a Preferred Equity Stake that provides them $1,100/month in priority payments but gradually transfers ownership to the Children.Payments will only be made when rental income is sufficient (i.e., when rent increases to $850/unit).Partner A’s Spouse is willing to forgo payments in bad financial times but wants assurance that they won’t face any tax consequences on unpaid amounts.If Partner A’s Spouse passes away before full ownership transfer, the Children inherit the shares at a stepped-up basis (avoiding capital gains tax).Questions:How should the LLC Operating Agreement be structured to allow withholding payments when necessary without triggering tax or legal issues?

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.
