@Andrew MerewitzState of LLC FormationIt is normally advised to create the LLC in the state that you will be holding the real estate; Florida in this case.If you created the LLC in New York - you would be required to register the LLC in Florida; increasing your total costs.Please also be advised that it can be costly to form an LLC in New York.Location of CPAThe important aspect of looking for a CPA is that he/she understands the taxation of real estate.Technology(emails, phones, skype) allows you to communicate properly through an accountant eventhough he/she may not be in the same city as you.Florida does not have a state income tax.

The “pro forma cap rate” for commercial properties will most often be created using what the potential rents could be rather than what they are.

I decided instead to save the $ and create organized systems that help alleviate some of the more tedious work that comes along with managing the properties myself. 

The tenancy you created thereafter, is completely separate from the rest. 

Rehab a property, then create a traditional mortgage to pull my cash back out for next project.  2)  Get home equity loan...rent out my house in San Jose, CA for a good amount of rent income...then use my loan to do a flip somewhere more affordable.  

Greatly appreciated.I have created a LLC for wholesaling to get started.

To create a false sense of cash flow.
