You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

Find a qualified agent willing to work only on a flat fee to write up the contract and other legal requirements.

You can take advantage of bonus depreciation and accelerated depreciation deductions to offset your passive income.With the 1031, you might have excess basis which is eligible for bonus depreciation. 

We get about $900 in excess.

Alex, I could see lower end and rental properties stay flat or even go lower in the short term until rents find some balance.

These are sometimes referred to as in-law units or granny flats and they are not new to the commonwealth but a favorable ADU policy has the potential to add over 10,000 units and offer homeowners a potential source of income.As a lifelong house hacker, my wife and I immediately recognized the potential of this 2-story garage in the back of the property.

You may pay a bit more and make a little less, but playing the long term game is key in real estate.The types of structures could be lump sum (one price) or cost plus (meaning you pay the cost of material and labor plus a flat fee—more of an open-book model).I see some investors who want to pay for ALL the materials, which is excellent for the investor (more control of finishes & cost) and general contractor (if they are getting paid well).  

I’d be disappointed at flat rents, I can’t imagine a 15+% rent crash.
