Buy a franchise type business, place it in the space, and sell a turnkey operation with built in lease.2.

Hi all,I'm in the market to acquire a property management company/portfolio and was wondering if anyone could speak to the reality of going the franchise route. 

@Irene Gustaitis It’s best to keep your LLC in Connecticut (CT) since the property is located there, simplifying legal and tax obligations.Even if you get an LLC in CA, you need to register an LLC in California (CA) and will have to pay the $800 annual franchise tax without gaining significant tax benefits.

There is a team in our area that has a Uhaul franchise and they kill it with people looking to buy/sell from it

I just accepted a job as a marketing coordinator for a local RE agency franchise office, at 21yo, a recent college grad.

I know some hotel franchises budget to shut down and renovate every ten years to stay updated.

The company is strategically closing underperforming locations while scouting new sites, aiming for a balanced approach to growth.Finally, Jack in the Box is expanding into new markets, including Georgia, with plans for up to 45 new franchise commitments in the Southeast.

I have a question - I live in California and thus would prefer to avoid paying the $800/year CA franchise board LLC tax.

California has a $800 minimum franchise tax per LLC per year (and it could be higher depending on gross receipts).LLCs allow for orderly transfer of wealth upon death through an operating agreement.
