With a 12 month lease, the renter has the opportunity to remedy lease violations - that makes the landlord stuck with a tenant they know is trouble and will inevitably get rid of.

I am looking to purchase rental properties outside of the state I live in CA, and looking for a lawyer to assess my situation and provide advice on acquiring The properties via LLC or Trust with umbrella INC. 

Without the 1099-S, you have no idea what the cost basis of the property will be once you acquire the LLC.Basit, in this case, if I told you I bought a brand new LLC that has a piece of real estate as it's asset, won't you need to know the Purchase price?

I'm a licensed agent/buillder who's life game plan is to continue acquiring rental properties and hope to someday build new construction homes.

Besides acquiring my first investment property, one of my goals for 2020 is to start networking more so I can gain additional knowledge and possible find someone with the same mindset to JV a deal with.I currently live in Pasadena, MD and work in Beltsville, MD and I see that MAREIA may be a good fit and the group seems pretty active but do any current/past members have any feedback as its a paid membership and I want to make sure there is value in it (most likely my wife and I would attend so we'd be looking at the couples rate)?

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to one of the largest foreclosure brokers in Illinois and have acquired several properties through this firm too.  

Given that wraps dont have the benefit of all of these deductions, a typical wrap providing me say 5% interest and $350 a month looks way less appealing when the $350 is taxed at 42% ordinary income level.I like the idea of wraps because once you complete the deal you are 100% free to move on, mostly forget about it and acquire more wraps. 

Great if you already own property, not great if you're trying to acquire more, hence my decision to reinvest into the properties I already own as much as possible until the market cools a bit.

Most of the counties now have a digital portal to acquire these docs.

They have acquired the land for the courthouse and jail already but they have yet to get the land for the new district attorneys office.
