There's the obvious such as: choosing a good location, conducting a title search,  and making sure you don't go over your set price; however, I was looking for best practices on avoiding duds properties (e.g. properties with folks who won't move out, or properties where the previous occupants put cement down the drains, etc.). 

The FTB takes the position that a foreign LLC does business in California if any member, manager or agent of the foreign LLC conducts business in California on behalf of the foreign LLC.California defines doing business as “actively engaging in any transaction for the purpose of financial or pecuniary gain or profit” (R&TC Section 23101(a)).

Under the new default audit regime, the IRS generally will conduct audits and make any resulting adjustments at the partnership level, and if the IRS finds a deficiency, it will impose tax on the partnership itself (rather than on the partners) at the highest individual or corporate tax rate in effect for the year under examination.The Act replaces the “tax matters partner” with a partnership representative, who need not be a partner but must have a substantial presence in the United States, to assume sole authority to act for the partnership in an audit.Partnerships composed of 100 or fewer partners and whose partners do not include any partnerships or trusts may elect out of the new regime.
