Hi Natali,I am not an attorney so I would suggest contacting a local real estate attorney but having an LLC should provide personal liability protection. 

I am reaching out to this amazing community to tap into your collective wisdom and experiences.Has anyone here ever donated real estate for tax benefits? 

I've made it my mission to share my experience with as many real estate investors, home improvement contractors, and homeowners in the Greater Pittsburgh area as possible.I wanted to give you a heads-up about my experience with Affordable Dumpster Rental.

Some of the top producing areas we've noticed in terms of pound for pound ROI and generally smooth path to STR permit currently include: Florence, Brookings, Waldport, Nehalem, Lane, Coos and Curry Counties, and case by case Rockaway Beach (three oceanfront STR's for sale with permits) Lakeside and Bay City. 

I recommend working an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

There is nothing wrong with FHA, but most real estate pros would agree that if you are trying to get a seller to accept an offer when there are other competing offers, a conventional loan offer is going to usually be more favorable than an FHA offer at the same price.   

Being that we only lend on non-owner occupied properties, we want to ensure that funds are being used to reinvest in these particular types of real estate transactions and not being used as a down payment on a primary residence. 

Have you invested in real estate before? 

@Nicolette YorkRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Real estate is a long game, seems like a great cash flowing property.
