If i can write off property management fees as an expense, can I pay myself (either as a sole proprietor or LLC) then write that off as an expense as well?

If both are single member LLCs that elect to be taxed as sole proprietors and do not file a tax return then they are disregarded and you could sell as 123 elm and buy as 456 Oak. 

In a community property state, a husband/wife LLC that elects to be taxed as a sole proprietor will not file  a tax return. 

A disregarded LLC is a single-member LLC (or husband/wife LLC in a community property state) that elects to be taxed as a sole proprietor. 

@Daniel VikhtinskiYes, opening accounts as a sole proprietor is fine it will help you get and stay organized. 

I am betting there is a lot of people happy to pay $100/$200 to do such, happy to be in a group, to go over the basics like *sole proprietor, LLC or S-corp for landlords, what is best for tax's and why.

My husband and I are sole proprietors on St.

Is there anyway to convert this Sub S Corporation to some kind of LL or sole proprietor? 

leading me to believe that this situation is only valid if we are sole proprietors or in partnership  (but I have an LLC).  

Right now I have a sole proprietor LLC, and a home based office.
