good tip, why I never think of this before.

I would appreciate any advice or tips on forum etiquette when communicating with experienced investors or in general.

Other cash such as down payment or money to fund your escrow / impound accounts (accounts that most lenders require for your property tax and homeowners insurance shouldn't be included in lender fees).

How do we file taxes under our business (Our LLC) ?

If you are going to tell them its your home of record, make sure it looks like it. i.g. your mail is delivered there, your tax filing with the county is your home of record, or homestead exemption, etc...

I wanted somewhere close to Nor Cal but much more friendly tenant/landlord laws, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, rent growth, job growth, population growth, strong appreciation, limited land, close to Lake Tahoe, etc. 

If so what are some tips and tricks to keep things clean?

That does not mean that pay stubs and tax returns are the only way to prove ATR fir example bank statement loans for the self employed is a method to verify ATR. 

@Nathan GesnerThanks for the great networking tips!

on top of this, what we found is finding high density allowances of at least 150 dwelling units per acre and taking advantage of up zone incentives through hotel development, affordable housing development, etc. we try to develop the lowest cost per door possible and another way to do that is through micro housing development. raw land we also look for underpriced land that we can raise through entitlements the value. those are just a few of the tools we use in addition to parking reductions and other incentives for tax abatements.
