Over that time we have acquired 4 properties, 6 doors. 

If they cannot follow that simple step, how do I expect them to take direction from my ops team or show up on time?

Im a real estate broker.

And you're getting tax benefits.So many of my first-time Colorado investors are afraid of looking stupid because they got a "bad deal."

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Hey everyone,I'm new to real estate and I’m looking for feedback on a project I’m working on.

Hopefully someone with tax accounting knowledge can jump in here with more detailed analysis, but I looked at this a bit several years ago...1) You still have to pay the depreciation recapture on the sale decreasing the net benefit of this approach due to the large tax payment in the 'sale' year2) The LLC would need to not be a passthrough entity so that it can be taxed separately from you, so you have to add another tax return cost for the years going ahead3) Taxing it separately from you likely means corporate status and corp. taxation rates which are higher than yours and I've heard many times over the years to avoid titling real property as a corp...Overall from what I've seen this only makes sense in a select few scenarios, which for most people aren't in play.
