Otherwise, do it on an overcast day to avoid ugly shadows and harsh reflections- Hold your phone horizontally - makes the space look bigger and shows better on screens- Shooting from lower chest height, holding the phone with both hands and rest your elbows onto your lower ribs.

Hi everyone,As a fellow Airbnb investor, I've been reflecting deeply on our role in the real estate market and its broader implications.

“Consumer expectations for the next six months also increased in December, reflecting improved confidence about future business conditions, job availability, and incomes.”

2021 Goal is to grow to 10 doors from 1, investing for cash flow.I currently own 1 rental in San Diego that breaks-even because I stuck my retired parents in it, it’s 60%LTV with $320k mortgage, worth $545k.I rent in Los Angeles, $2,100 per month but am considering putting 5% down on a vacant 3 unit property to house hack that has the following:2 bd/ 1.5 ba front house2 bd/ 1 ba back house (1 bedroom is un-permitted per title reflecting this as a 1/1) - will rent for $2k1 bd/ 1 ba adu - not sure if it was permitted - will rent for $1500$850k with 5% down, Mortgage will be $4600 This seems like the best next step except the unpermitted aspects give me pause.I pulled $100k out of my San Diego home to consolidate my student loans, but have yet to pull the trigger as I’m considering ways to put this cash to work and arrive at paying those off with the proceeds.

@Jessica Pham Also when you finish this property hopefully not at any loss at all make sure you go back and reflect on what went wrong so you don't make the same mistakes again.

You need to make an actual profit to pay taxes.As an individual, in addition to your federal 1040 you would need to file state returns in Illinois and California reflecting the profit and loss.If you file business returns the same is true it just costs more in preparation fees.I do not prepare California returns, but many states have reciprocal agreements where the taxpayer can deduct the taxes paid in one state against the income earned in another state.Your CPA is probably right.Having an LLC in another state will not save you taxes as Illinois wants EVERYTHING.

Good learning lessons and a fun reflection on the first apartment my wife and I shared. 

Although public record will still reflect the transfer from your personal name and then to a land trust without an actual sale, people can make the leap that you still own the property.
