Hello – I'm looking for confirmation of understanding/ advice relating to transferring property into LLC and treatment from a tax perspectiveMy parents completed a 1031 exchange over 2 years in their own names – they file a joint tax return.

Just wonder what area would be a decent choice  Hi @Yushengji ZhouI have quite a bit of investors from california who have invested here in the Fort Worth area over the last year.

I'm deliberately keeping things overly simple here because secondary market ops and fixed income pricing can get complicated quickly. 

I think we charge about $50 per application for every person over 18 years old.

Vacancy rates:The overall office vacancy rate in Tampa is 9.4%, which is below the national average of about 13%.For residential properties, the homeowner vacancy rate is 1.0% and the rental vacancy rate is 4.2% in the 33619 zip code.Days on market:Specific data on days on market wasn't provided for Tampa overall, but the median days on market for homes is 89 days according to one source.Promising areas:The Westshore and Downtown Tampa submarkets have seen increased occupancy, with an uptick of 175,000 square feet over the past year.The Westshore submarket has seen its vacancy rate drop by 100 basis points year over year to 12.5%, hitting a four-year low.Rental property insights:Tampa has a high percentage of renters, with 53% of the population renting rather than owning homes.The median rent price in Tampa is $2,941.Market trends:Tampa's real estate market has seen strong appreciation, with a total appreciation of 129.39% since Q1 2000, at an average annual rate of 4.41%.The city is experiencing population growth and an influx of young, educated professionals due to increasing employment opportunities.Regarding your interest in a brand new construction SFR with live and work usage, this could be a promising investment given Tampa's growing population and the trend of people seeking to live close to their workplaces.

However, the good news is since you've owned the property for over a year it will be considered a long-term capital gain which holds a much lower tax rate than if you owned it for less than a year.  

My main concern, being my first rent increase, is the attitude/personality needed for such a task.

A lease is the way YOU want to conduct your rental so choosing one randomly/ already done may not be correct for you.Resident screening is very important but there are state laws and even federal laws (disparate impact as an example) that you want to be careful about.Having a few key maintenance people is very important as well because that is an area of great concern to the resident.I could go on but feel free to ask more questions. 

The biggest concern they are having is over dramatically increasing costs...not so much with rate, but with items like taxes and insurance.

Looking all over the country is just going to be either overwhelming or waste a lot of energy
