Account Closed 1st rental LLC OR UMBRELLA? BOTH? NONE?
28 March 2011 | 17 replies
Hi John,unfortunately, a LLC doesn't save you from paperwork - quite the contrary.You still need all your receipts to substantiate your expenses to the IRS (if it comes to defending an audit).You definitely want to have separate accounts to show that the LLC is indeed a distinct entity and you definitely do not want to mix your and the LLC moneys.Mixing personal and business funds more or less automatically kills the point and benefit of the LLC since it needs to documented as a separate, business entity.There's a ton of LLC related discussions on BP, plus I found the NOLO books on dealing with Tax for Landlords to be outstanding.You have plenty of time to ramp up on this aspect.Get a bunch more rentals under your belt to build up your net worth.

The chemicals mix with the water in the Ocean to make Potassium Chloride or something similar(can't remember the scientist jargon they were saying).Anyway when the compounds hit the Ocean they cancel each other out and dispurse.Right now the levels are not ultra dangerous but they have abandoned one reactor because of the levels there.The radiation does pose a risk to the immediate area and surrounding areas depending on which way the wind blows and velocity.What helps is with Cherynoble containment was weak.Today buildings are built stronger making leaks and explosions not travel high into the air.It was the high air travel before that caused wide spread contamination by the winds.The design of todays buildings helps containment.Still dangerous but not approaching Cherynoble proportions.I will pray for them.
