It's a multi-member LLC, and I know we have to pay taxes on the profits (minus allowable deductions for the business), but how are the taxes paid? 

Hi,Does anyone have recommendations for a broker that can help me identify 2-4 unit multi-family opportunities in the DFW area? 

I just recently moved to Los Angeles and was planning on doing this method later this year with some kind of Multi-Family property (2 - 4 units). 

So, multi-family homes are a tad harder to come by.

As new investors we are about to get into our first multi-family property with owner occupancy (house hacking!). 

This is where this community comes in (I hope).My plan: Invest in small multi family homes around Cleveland, buy and hold to build a small portfolio and possibly trade up to small 5+ units.

To this point, most of my experience has been with single family houses and a duplex but would consider larger multi unit property's if I could get the financing and the numbers work.

I'd love to speak with you regarding multi family if you'd like some more information on the Phoenix markets.Feel free to message me on here and we can chat more.Thanks,Greg JungeWest USA Realty

And househacking a multi allows you to see if being a landlord is something you are cut out for.

Hi Lane, I have to respond to your post because what you said is not the case.  1031's are a great tool in real estate investing to defer capital gains taxes and there are multi owner deals that you can 1031 into.
