I have been avidly reading and educating myself and am beyond excited to continue down this path.I am now at a point where I need to leave my job, I have accrued quite some savings and I have hit my threshold for corporate life and spending my life in an office.

I hold an active Calif Real Estate Brokers license, but I am a corporate pilot and have not performed any professional real estate services in over 10 years.

Speak to someone at Corporate Direct to help you out with ensuring you set up the entities correctly.

Any California agents have an S-corporation to avoid self employment taxes?

When I title a property into a LLC should I elect to have it taxed as a S Corp or just have  the LLC report on my personal taxes and why please.

I've worked in corporate finance for a long time and one thing that I've learned about any opportunity is that you have to be agile, take the emotion out of decision-making and if the numbers make sense go for it.  

@Aaron CaterYou are required to buy the property in a Partnership or corporate tax entity and designate it as a QOF.

@Elaine ChenMulti-member LLC's are normally required to file a partnership return.Single-member LLC(if not elected to be taxed as a corporation) are disregarded for tax purposes and not required to file a separate tax return.Regarding Wyoming, if you have no property, payroll or sales within the state, you may not have any nexus to the state and as a result no tax filing obligation with the state.Ohio will require a partnership return.

To my understanding Austin is a hot bed at the moment, and with large corporations investing in facilities there (Google, Tesla, Oracle, etc.) it appears the city will be for years to come.

We have such a group with over 11k members, but many active investors are busy doing deals and not going to meetings or hanging out on facebook.For the direct method you could look up absentee owners who have purchased in the last 6 months and stalk them on social media and skip trace to try to find a home owner, or if they are a big corporation , find their website and reach out that way.
