Had a lot of life changes the last 4 months with marriage and then beginning real estate investment so I've slipped on goal planning.

Remaining tax would be total taxable gain less depreciation recapture less PAL carryforward (from "unused" depreciation expense)Alternatively, could I not depreciate the property (which i did not do for the past 2 years in error and need to file amendments) and file a Form 3115 (application for change in accounting method) in the year in which I sell the property to catch up and claim all the the missing depreciation all at once?

Do existing lease agreements stay in affect when ownership changes hands?

I keep getting conflicting answers when researching, so hoping someone current on the changes can help me out.My father passed away in February 2018.

I came across a post from a few years ago regarding hard money lenders and auctions however;  I felt the need to post the question again just in case there have been any changes. 

An LLC will not change your tax liability at all; income is passed through to you and reported on your personal return.One note about the filing requirements, though - If you're the single member of the LLC, a separate partnership return will not be required.

We're not inclined to change the status quo.

Your price point is relatively safe from drastic changes in your taxes.

At Closing, your Title Company will verify that the Private Lender's funds are on deposit (likely wired) prior to any document signing or any money changing hands. 

Change your property manager, they are not doing their job.
