I would love to hear from those out there who self filed their taxes for their new REI LLCs in the first year without any investment properties/deals yet.

Transfer taxes in PA are no fun.

I prefer to be the GP and control the assets with my post tax dollars since it's my field of expertise vs becoming a private money lender with preferred returns but no control on performance. 

I am thinking the following:This would be a wrap around mortgage as I still owe $165k on it.Sale Price $245k (market price)10% down ($24,500)10% Interest 30 year (please tell me if thats a bad idea)Monthly payment based on 30 yr ($1930/mo + tax and insurance) = $2448/moPlease let me know if i left any pertinent information out.Any sleuths out there can check it out. 🤓 (1032 E Tucker St Fort Worth, TX 76104)

Title companies would do these types of deals.The ones that may not be insurable are the ones that were sold at tax deed sale, that you would need to first talk to a title company about.

I am certain that there are many opportunities to consider on tax and business structure before buying so curious what some experiences have been.

Any tax implications, etc?  

Do I still have time to start an exchange with a qualified intermediary or am I better off just paying the taxes?

I'm not an expert, but it will really depend on your tax needs.   

Tax benefits (depreciation and expenses) - this gives you more money near term by reducing taxes.Of the 4 I listed, 2 are money now, 2 are money later.
