Oakland has some ambitious plans to improve the city, and as rate improves, I firmly believe certain parts of Oakland will recover faster than others.

Are there any tax advantages or disadvantages to my being both a resident and a landlord?  

I have 3 vacation rentals in Costa Rica and a piece of land where we will be building another one near the beach.

The property was occupied (still is) with 1 tenant that I am now having the exhausting pleasure of evicting. 2yrs later, said tenant continues to try every angle to delay the court granted Marshall’s execution.The “2nd” floor was poorly renovated (bad contractors), new tenant moved in and a year later, another eviction process has started as they lost their job and refuse to move or pay.Stuck with a very large mortgage bill (that I am paying), utilities and making small repairs to keep the property up also noting the casual 311 complaints from both tenants. 

We model deals for IRR and MOIC and like to see 17-25% IRR and a 2x multiple over 5 years. 

Translation, $2400 per year.I currently just have insurance liability up to 1 million per property.Since I will be getting married and as married, you are considered as one, I’m wondering if I should LLC them due to the new wife becoming also a new liability in my life.For example, she causes a big car accident and ends up getting sued.

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.
