@Jedd Braunwarth, I sent you my email address to be added to the list. As

Have you tried E-homes of Bakersfield.

Glad to see Milwaukee on the list as a WI metro market. 

You’re looking in the wrong place - try this thread https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/816680-real-e... 

looking at 75-80% ltv for a heloc, yes all rental income are in schedule e 

Mike -Forming an LLC is a good legal best practice to house a RE rental and would be a Schedule E transaction for you.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

It's similar to how you report it for tax purposes in years where you aren't selling it, you report 50% (or whatever % is allocable to each side) as rental property and depreciate that 50% while the other 50% is your own personal residence and therefore is not part of Schedule E.

Our CPA told us if we transferred to NJ LLC with both of my parents as 50/50 owners, they can treat the LLC as a single member for federal tax purposes and continue to file on Schedule E because they file a joint return, but this seems to be inconsistent with what I've read.If we want to transfer to an LLC and continue reporting on Schedule E on their joint tax return, can I simply set up the LLC with one of my parents as the member and have each parent deed their interest to the LLC that will be owned by one parent?
