I post frequently about the unnecessary complexities of most real estate investors asset protection structures and the point I normally emphasize is the lack of attention placed on the day to day operations that are far more critical to reducing liability exposure.

I only do it because I'm a REALTOR and property manager in a city of 10,000 and I don't want locals to know what I own.Just remember an LLC (or multiple LLCs) will increase costs, complexity, and workload to your life.

I still had a lot of questions but it's a very complex topic and I knew I still had a lot to learn, and about real estate investing in general. 

They're all booked with large complexes repairing balconies.They also yellow tagged our railings as being too short.

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story Pins Mechanical venue.

Managing a multi-unit property can be more complex, so consider your level of involvement.Have you received any offers for a lower down payment than 25%?

Given the complexity and potential tax-saving opportunities in real estate, it's wise to consider hiring a CPA with expertise in this field.Many clients who work with non-specialists find that their non-real estate preparers lack the specific knowledge to help them minimize taxes through strategies like depreciation, the de minimis safe harbor, partial asset dispositions, 1031 exchanges, navigating real estate professional status, the short-term rental loophole, and more.If you are looking to qualify as a real estate professional, use the short-term rental strategy, or complete a 1031 exchange, I would without a doubt recommend working with a real estate CPA.
