Are you running a business? 

I have successfully used VAs in my on-market and off-market business, but you will fire about 90 percent of them over time.

Making the transition from an employee to a business owner is very hard work but rewarding in the long run.  

I do agree with you that investors must absolutely consult with their legal and tax advisors before entering into any of these tax-deferral strategies to ensure they understand the potential risks involved, including the risk of being disallowed by the California FTB.  

But I would certainly never discourage anyone from investing in rentals if they are truly passionate about building a side hustle business.

Everyone involved personally guarantees the commercial loan.

Thanks,Ratna what everyone mistake is some people is stuck in h1b for decades and they are too afraid to buy primary home, or to buy rental in US or even to apply mortgage which at the end, makes them losing the biggest opportunity to make money in real estate.In reality it doesn't really matter as income from cash flow is a passive investment, you could do even flipping business while on h1 as the profit is from buy and sell activity. 

This REI business is hard and you need to embrace the ebb and flow of it like any business. 

I was just wondering if anyone knew if I needed to get that transferred to my name/business, or can I just have them renew the registration every year?
