Entities that are not "disregarded" need their own QBO to ensure their balance sheets remain 100% accurate.To @Jake Baker's point, we do run into an issue every now and then with some transactions that don't allow us to designate the customer/property but we've found ways to get around this and still have the transaction reflect the appropriate customer/property.This allows us to pull all the financial reports our Clients and their tax pros need to see.I'm in no way saying our way is the end-all-be-all but it works for us and our Clients' tax filers/advisors.There's a FB group called, "Bookkeepers for Real Estate Investors".

My biggest issue with snowballing is my family's budget must be paid by a decent percentage of the income I make

Recently appraised for 240k, I was able to negotiate to 215k with 30k rehab budget (more on cosmetic issues) .

Assuming you are managing the property well and taking care of maintenance issues, there really is no benefit to either you or your resident from the inspection.  

We form the LLC with me and my wife as members, then transfer the properties (they do have mortgages, so maybe lenders will have less of an issue if the LLC has members that are same as the current owners), then assign the LLC to the trust2.

We utilized our knowledge of crash pads in our area and local property laws to help us reach our max number of occupants and earnings.

I like my landlord just fine and there are zero issues on either side concerning payments, repairs, upkeep/cleaning, or anything else.

We did not get a property under contract in the 90 days, however, we did submit offers in the first 90 days that were not accepted (mainly issues with price).

I am unsure of laws there but an eviction I think is a long process there if she doesn't leave?
