@Sam Epperson Fantastic questions!

Just fantastic to read all the responses.

This holding LLC will be split between my wife and I and nobody else.I know Wyoming is fantastic for liability protection but we are also, and more eagerly, looking for the best for tax benefits from depreciation write offs, expense write offs, and taxes from cashflow from all the LLCs that’ll be under it.Would Wyoming provide just as good of tax benefits as other stats or is there another state that’s better with investment real estate tax benefits, especially with owners from California?

I am always open to all kinds of possibilities, but the price would have to be ultra fantastic I think for most people here to be interested in 100 year old plus, converted mutli-family in Cleveland.Not to say there's not opportunity there....but that would not be on most people's list I think.

I've been working with what feels like a fantastic investor friendly agent (whom also has a finance background).
