If I am able to make tax deductions or write offs from repairs/ maintenance items how can I do so?

Feel free to ask the BP Forum your tax question. 

So I recently learned that some states don't have any income tax.  

The parent to child transfer of property tax base, was changed this year, due to Prop 19.

The tax code allows for the raising of the cost basis to the higher price, minimizing the capital gains taxes owed if the asset is sold later.

Based on a quick search, I did not see any governmental agencies addressing this particular question.LA county assessor says the child must make the received property his/her primary residence within 1 year, and must file a valid Home Owners property tax exemption. 

Thank goodness for tax deductions, right? 

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

With 1031 Exchange you are not paying any taxes.

Yes there will be payroll expense and tax return fee, but in the end it is beneficial.
