Hello everyone, looking for some input from someone who may have done it in the past. My last years accountant made it sound like filing by myself would be easy this year as sole owner but I’m stumped on which forms m...

I am certain that there are many opportunities to consider on tax and business structure before buying so curious what some experiences have been. 

It's there to prevent hiding behind LLCs for shady reasons, including tax evasion.

Even if you have to pay more for the purchase think about the costs of carrying the real estate while waiting for the approvals  (debt service, property taxes, insurance, maintenance for the in-place tenant) and the additonal finance charges associated with originating an acquisiton/bridge loan and then a construciton loan at a later date. 

The co-op is the one selling it since the original owner didn't pay their taxes the co-op became owners.

Tenants pay $2350/mo and after the rate increase, this no longer covers mortgage/taxes/insurance.

On top of that, there's a bill working it's way through the state to add an additional sales tax on real estate.

That means no Capital Gains, which means tax free.
