Another big part is just to officially have a business entity to help separate personal and business finances in an official manner.We will do a quit claim deed in the future to transfer the title into the LLC. 

He submitted a title claim and got $10K so we’ll definitely do that.

Currently I run QuickBooks, but their claim is there’s no need for QB as their accounting and reporting is a QB replacement.Should I be running QuickBooks along side Buildium or ditch QuickBooks and solely use Buildium?

(Once I had a tenant claim mold was in the oven, I went over there...was just residue from where my folks cleaned it).2) Have tenants hire a professional.

**Adjusted Basis**: This is the original purchase price of the home, plus the cost of any improvements you made over the years, minus any depreciation you claimed while renting the property.2.

My number was listed on a house on zillow that I never owned and someone has been calling ever since,  I claimed the house and removed my number, that helped but it never went away.

@Alexander F Pollock how did you proceed on the Quit Claim Deed ? 

I recently learned that if you owner occupy a residence for part of the 5 previous years before sale, and you rent it for the remaining time, you can calculate the percentage of time the property was owner-occupied (and thus qualifies for the sec. 121 primary sales tax exemption of up to $250k for single filers) vs the time it was being rented (which qualifies for 1031 exchange) and claim both benefits. https://hcsequity.com/blog/combining-1031-exchange-with-121-....How does this work for a multi-family?

Sounds like this is more about your ability to qualify because of claiming depreciation.  

I do not know why people claim to try and help a homeowner when they are really trying to help themselves.
