The buy/sell agreement didn't allocate the purchase price into the different asset classes, nor was the seller interested in filing an IRS form 8594 to separate out the different assets. 

I haven't had one of my tax liens go that far so not sure if they "force" you to redeem.Yeah when you file for treasurers deed I am saying odds are you are getting your capital back since they will have to sell or figure out somewhere to get the funds.  

@Ray Johnson would you be willing to share your RE IRR template file that others could use?

The counties/probate courts don’t generally provide a “list”.....access to the individual files is open to the public.....you make your own list.

I'm looking for someone who can help us build wealth through real estate (planning to do a fairly decent 1031 in the coming year) while also tax planning and filing for our non REI business.

Ahh ok, I was under the impression that I needed to file it separately and give myself a K1 even for single member LLC's.I looked it up and noticed that personal rental income & losses get filed under schedule E while LLC income & losses get filed under schedule C. 

There's also an extraordinary tendency among these newbies only to listen to the opinions that they want to listen to, no matter whom the opinions are coming from, discounting any voices of sanity that tell them to avoid long-distance deals that no one but a local specialist could possibly make money from.If you're going to go long distance, buy renovated turnkey from people with a long-term record in the business.

The Land Trust also offers the added benefit of removing your personal name from the public filing, adding a layer of anonymity to the process.

She had lots of stuff from the internet in a file folder.

From your post I assume you are self employed, since you’ve been SE for over 5 years, you can get a loan using only 1 year taxes, in case your net income for 2017 is not enough, you should show your 2018 drafts to your banker Before you file to make sure you show enough.
