I am excited about gaining more knowledge and deals! 

This risk here far outweighs any small gains in ranking. 

Holding properties in an LLC (or other legal entity) can offer valuable protection for your personal assets, so I understand why you went that route.

You may learn a lot of valuable information about what people are looking for in your area.  

I’m in CA also and paid cap gains on huge profits to the tune of 28%, which included CA state cap gains.

Ok, if it's still sounding do-able, the next issue is that section 179 can't be used to create a business loss, so it would only reduce your taxes for the year if your rentals are operating as a taxable gain (but rentals are often at a tax loss thanks to depreciation).  

Throughout my career as a real estate investor and CEO, I have learned valuable lessons on maximizing the potential of each unit in a property.

If you’re selling and you’re going to buy another rental no matter what, if you probably do a 1031 unless you have almost no capital gain or depreciation capture.

I found it far more valuable than the AirDNA one result, albeit you do have to pay for the pricelabs revenue estimator. 

Every adult can figure out how to contact you if they think you provided valuable information to them.
