Haven't found much resources on how to structure the deal whether to buy out partner's shares at existing basis (I believe this wouldn't be advantageous as I wouldn't get to mark the asset to market and lose out on depreciation) or open new LLC or S-Corp and buy out both partners (I would end up taking gain tax due to sale but would get new dep. basis).

It almost reads as if you are buying a house and you haven’t closed on the house you are planning to resale. is this the case?

This one will require moving several walls to reconfigure the space.

This is the backbone of trust for your business.

And yes, we have had to switch floorplans in a few situations, but now from experiance we can avoid lots that we anticipate will cause this issue.

When I see this, it's concerning because.. why are so many decent looking homes in a "warm" market temperature on the market for two plus months???

Hope this is useful - all feedback is welcome!

Any insights on this anyone!!

From what I've been reading, it sounds like this is the time to change to copper piping but it sounds like it will cost a lot and take some time to complete.

This will be my first investment property and I'm a little leery about this whole out of state buying process since I've never done this before.
