I've been looking to expand in a way that will both benefit the construction side of the business along with growing in a newer space of business.

Do I need an LLC in order to claim tax benefits for STR?

Newbie here, scoping out the market for my long-term rental property.

Try a long term lease option. 

Interestingly my current CPA mentioned that i don't get much benefit of depreciation is that in San Diego based on my previous filing based on Turbotax the land value is lesser then the total cost of the building so not getting much depreciation benefit.

We primarily do short-term, but also do mid-term and long-term!

There are a lot of tax benefits not to do that or to wait until you're done with owner occupying all together.

I'm Isaac from Southern California, passionate about real estate investing for the medium and long term.

I'm looking for long-term investment opportunities in growing market and am excited to build my portfolio.Outside of real estate, I enjoy surfing, live music, and traveling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

This is a long-term strategy for me as litigation can take years in some cases, but with a decent backlog of these types of foreclosures, especially commercial properties, it's well worth the time investment!
