We have 30 units in 7 different entities if including personal name ownership.

This is a land contract. 

One tool I've utilized extensively for personal and client acquisitions are seller carried transactions. 

The cost segregation allows for accelerated depreciation creating pretty big losses on first year of acquisition and there after also.But schedule E doesn’t allow posting those losses to personal taxes 1040. losses stay with schedule E until they get offset by future profits from property.Did I get this correct?

I want this to be my personal niche as I’m new to home buying and so is my family.

So if the landlord only owns one four-plex, or two duplexes, or a single and triplex, and the landlord is a natural person (not a corporation or partnership), or the landlord is an LLC in which all members are natural persons (no corporate or partnership members in the LLC), the landlord can still require two month’s rent as security deposit.So for those CA investors who invest in properties with four rentals or less, and place each rental property into its own LLC, and the LLC members are all natural persons, those investors can continue to require two month’s rent as security deposit.

What were some of the questions you asked to be able to determine if this was a person you would want to work with?

We're based out of California, but have a solid team in Atlanta, including a contractor and realtor.Due to the distance, we've had some challenges with in-person meetups.

6) Any knowledgeable real estate lawyers you can refer me to that can draw up this contract for me.

The next property I bought was a 3 unit rental property held long term and the next personal residence I bought turned into 17 new houses built in my back yard.
