I am actually from Elgin but live in Chicago now.

And its actually the norm these days for 1031 to start in one state and end in another. 

The difference in the actual drawer tray size is dramatic, and you don't get cornerhooked by the frames on your plates or pots. the actual space in a 12 or 15" framed drawer is tiny. 

And there's some good qis right here on BP you can vet using their references and actually talk to folks who have used them in the past.I'll reach out via pm.  

This is actually my first ever post/reply on the forum! 

From talking to lenders, I need to accept at least one job offer and have an actual job after college in order to qualify for a loan since I don’t have two years of tax return from my business.

I wanted to start to treat this more like the business it actually is.  

I have heard of out-of-state CPAs not being familiar with these rules and assuming that California, just like their home state, does not impose a filing requirement on single-member LLCs, and their client missed the filing, and the FTB came after them with fines and penalties for failing to file.This being said, if the out-of-state CPA is knowledgeable about California tax rules, then there's no reason to fear unless you actually want to meet your CPA in person.  

Are you looking at actual rents or proforma?

To be clear: you've never actually taken $3.5 million of investor equity and purchased a $10 million apartment building, correct?
