It's not that easy to accomplish and usually involves advanced strategies such as bonus depreciation mentioned by @Logan Allec and asset segregation.The good part is that investor-friendly lenders will add back depreciation, not counting it against your income for underwriting purposes.

First time being involved with commercial sale.

I haven’t used BP to it’s best potential but I plan on it, as I’m getting further involved in real estate investing.

I was wondering if someone out there with some experience could put a second set of eyes on it and see if my assumptions are close to right?

Thus, I'd like to use a professional.)Last fall, I sought bids for snow removal (shoveling/blowing walkways - no plowing) and to those that bothered to respond, I got ridiculous prices back ($150-$225 per trip; it takes an hour total to shovel all the properties, including travel time between).This spring, I am seeking lawn maintenance bids and I am experiencing the same thing; outrageous (in my opinion) prices for the work involved.  

Investors get involved in deals that might look good. 

This will let the lender think that the sellers are still involved, but in the event of an insurance claim, they will receive nothing because they don't have an interest in the property. 2.

I know this because I have one LLC with my wife for one property, and then other properties in another LLC that is just me...so I need to stroke the annual tax prep check for the one LLC that my wife is involved in in addition to the other tax preparations.

Thanks @Jay Hinrichs I wouldn't' consider this a whopper in terms of total profit but in terms of effort involved it certainly was lol.

and that's when I realized I really enjoy anything involving homes and that I wanted to be involved in real estate somehow for the rest of my life.I'm looking forward to meeting other people who are just as passionate!
