In my area, pest control companies want up to $700 to eradicate bed bugs and it is the tenants who bring them into the units and always blame the landlords.

This is a new venture for us!

It doesn’t make sense to me that people who want control of their investments (a lot of us on BP investing in RE) will simultaneously invests in a plan that benefits the government and diminishes your own control (no personal control on tax rates) when you are the least able to “go back to work” to cover differences and have the least amount of tax deductions: no kids, no Mortgage deduction, no 529, etc.I hope this helps, and congrats on getting a rental!

Sometimes, you can sell the LLC interest to avoid these taxes but CT also has controlling interest taxes.

You have what I believe is called "checkbook" control over this form of IRA. 

She trusts me and I haven't screwed up yet, so I have complete control over those funds and she never touches them.If you have three LLCs, treat each one the same.

Buildings should be owned by the residents themselves or by one person or llc and no more than five buildings or complexes per company. this whole housing and real estate crisis has gotten way out of control and it’s ridiculous bYour inability to qualify for a mortgage has nothing to do with my ability to qualify for one.You know the difference between you and me? 

Venturing into real estate may seem overwhelming at first, but as the saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Union City makes real estate investments almost totally unviable due to ultra strict rent control.
