The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

I am looking to inject (contribute) some money into one of my LLC to finance some new acquisition this year.I am refinancing my home (that is under my own name) and will use the cash out as contribution into the LLC.It is my understanding that while you can't deduct new mortgage or refi anymore on your personal home, you can still deduct all its costs when it is used for investment (by deducting from the investment income/gain).What would be the proper way to document this transaction in addition to the schedule recording the contribution in the LLC book?

What would you consider a fair price to setup an LLC properly?
