Looking for a Tax Strategist in the Kansas city area. 

They had set pricing for the weekdays and weekends, and based on the tax returns they sent me it appeared they were not reporting all their income.

- Do you have a current need for that cash flow generated from the tax savings? 

Taxes are the biggest eroder of your wealth. 

Also the property taxes are extremely high for properties especially as a non homesteader. 

Document everything, personally I use a CPA for my taxes. 

Then I paid the taxes and got the 10k back that I had paid for the tax lien. 

Malibu allows it but requires a 15% "hotel tax" on the gross revenue.I would recommend looking out of state or underwrite the property as a long term rental in the event laws change.

-(side note, I don't qualify for a HELOC as I wrote off too much in taxes as a realtor)What would you do?

There are a few problems with what you said and how you are planning to go about filing taxes for your rental income.First, I think you meant your LLC is operating in a State that is NOT a “community property” State  As a result, you will need to file a LLC tax return with the IRS and State -> Yes, you are required to file The LLC tax return you file (I’d recommend getting help) will include an IRS Schedule K-1 for the LLC parters (you and your spouse).You will need to use these IRS Schedule K-1s to report your rental income and expense on your personal taxes return.
