So, whether or not you have an LLC is irrelevant for the tax questions.In either case, you'll need a partnership return, then each of the partners will move their parts of the profits or losses to their personal returns.IIRC, CA charges an $800/year franchise fee for LLCs.I'd be DANG SURE I had a detailed, written document describing how the partnership would work before I did any deal with partners.

I.E. the interest gets charged on the remaining balance, not the total balance, but the payments stay the same so more goes to pay off principal?

They are the guys who will charge $50K to put in a new kitchen, and are probably worth every penny.

And, eviction proceedings can sometimes drag out for a few months if the tenant wants to fight it.It can be a waste of advertising dollars, and your time.Not to mention the risk involved of the tenant making something up and filing some sort of charges for some made-up thing.On top of that, do you want to show a perspective tenant the place while a person who is not paying is living there?

Using the 40% for expenses I use because I'm willing to manage for free and I have optimism about the area, its right at $99.For rentals, though, you do need some cash in the bank to cover unexpected and expensive items like furnaces, evictions or tenant damage.

They will charge you a few hundred.If you mean you want to figure out what a house is worth, then that's something you need to be able to do on your own.

Now - you charge him with being a tax dodger.

Banks also make more money off worse credit by charging higher interest rates.
