Also with the new tax law next year, if my property is in an LLC, does anybody know if I can get a better tax break on that rental income?

I am pretty strict on our policies and its because if you allow one tenant to get away with certain things then their neighbori will also try the same thing. 

Be very careful wholesaling in WI, based on the verbiage in the law it is suspect brokering if you do not intend to close in your name or a business name. 

And the beauty of it, is that under current law, it can be done over and over again.  

It seems because the new 2018 Tax Reform laws are so new I can't seem to find real answers.

This is just my opinion, but I would look somwhere else that has lower tax, population is growing, the law is landlord friendly and the property tax is cheaper. 

I purchased a vacation rental business called Tennessee Lakefront Cottages and focus strictly on leasing other people's lakefront homes for them.

But my real estate work is strictly a side hustle right now, since I work all day every day for USPS.

Flying off the handle can get you in trouble.For example, not renting to those in the military is against federal fair housing laws.

Remember the $800 is for EACH and EVERY LLC.My suggestion is CA LLC makes/applies foreign qualification (i call it domestication) to states of KS “and” IA.Getting an accountant out of state is not such a good move as they are MAY BE not that well versed on CA tax law.
