The owners are amenable to selling the office building by itself and vice versa.

In the past I have also served as an advisor to the local Housing Authority Directors and a past president and past Executive Director  on Landlord issues.  

I agree with you and will add this to the Starting Out forum, however did this because once people have the rhythm, they do not check the Starting Out forum, and vice versa, newbies might not check outside the Starting Out forum.The intent of this article is to give food for thought into the process in general - and I wanted everyone to be able to find this no matter their experience. 

So check with HOA presidents to make sure there no new amendments in the works.

Vice versa if someone got hurt on the property they could not sue you only the LLC. 

Or vice versa so he can contact you.

Just be the one selling at the top and not vice versa.

If you start with a 12 month lease and they are good tenants then great, but if they are bad tenants you can terminate the tenancy with 30 days notice and be rid of the problem.2) The President of our REIA firmly believes, and I agree, that each time you go sign a new lease it just reminds the tenant of how long they have been renting from you. my goal is to have as many long term tenants as possible, so I don't want to continuously remind them of how long they have been renting one of our properties.

Or turning apartments into condos or vice versa.

I still don't know the right question :-) but I am happy to know that the answer is "the taxpayers must be the same" and that there can be circumstances where a disregarded LLC can 1031 to personal name and vice versa.
