The stamping architect is taking legal responsibility for the work (just like a local partner for an "out-of-state" design firm), and most architects charge handsomely to review and stamp plans.

My firm can do it, but the funds need to season in your account for a month. 

@Tejas ParuthooliI can answer your question by telling you a story at what points in my life I was developing the software and I asked my attorney if he could write terms of use his response was brilliant he said the best terms of use policy is that microsoft.com they have the largest law firm in the world at that point it was simply copy and paste.I can understand paying an attorney to drop your first LLC but after your first one it's copy and paste.With single family properties you could probably just have one LLC with your umbrella insurance.

It wouldn't hurt if you wanted to do that now as they could provide good information as you move forward and make decisions.Benefits: building a relationship, shopping firms to get the best fit, knowledge regarding big financial decision before they occur, knowing if  you're making any major mistakes, determining if your plans will actually help you tax wise SummaryIt might be too early but only something good can come out of a meeting with a knowledgable tax professional earlier rather than later.

I am a CPA operating a firm myself.

Recommendations for career transition include speaking to agents, exploring brokerage firms, taking classes, and using resources like books, podcasts, online communities, and mentorship.Good luck!

I would think most landlords, who choose to be landlords in very Tenant friendly San Francisco, would pony up the 5.2% knowing that the rate has gone up and down throughout time, unless they want to run the risk of their tenant's finding out and called out as being a bad landlord, being taken on by the very helpful San Francisco Tenants Union or taken to Small Claims Court.Maybe there is a silver lining in California's recent change in security deposits that limit it to one months rent when it used to be up to 2 month's rent for unfurnished units and up to 3x for furnished units.By the way, I took a look at your Company, https://www.getwhale.co/  Since your firm is only offering 4.2%, were you trying to market in San Fran before discovering the Rent Board rate?

If not, I recommend commissioning one and only taking their counsel on tax-specific questions.I have a list I keep updated and recommend through our REI bookkeeping firm if you don't currently have one.They can walk you through exactly what you can and cannot write off during these trips and what you need to document in order to write things off.It's not necessarily a simple "yes" or "no".

Since then there have been many changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws and as a result, I bought a local attorney's lease (actually a fairly large law firm).

Hi Randy,The reason small apartment buildings haven’t seen the same price drops as larger properties comes down to a few key factors: 1031 exchange buyers inflating bids, strong demand for limited supply, and sellers holding firm on prices since they’re not under financial distress.
