@Rafael Ramos All your goals contradict each other:(1) Cashflow: buy Class C & D properties2) Appreciation: buy Class A & B properties3) Low Crime: buy Class A & B properties4) Why would you want your investments to lose money to lower your taxes?

It will have to be a pass through/disregarded LLC to keep the tax payer the same and the 1031 valid.

He’s also interested in staying in the home if possible and deduct the rent from the balance he owes.

Said it was one of his tax clients & would not give me their name.

We all do the same thing, we just call ourselves different names and carry similar but different licenses:- CPA - Certified Public Accountant- EA - Enrolled Agent - Accountant - Tax advisor - Tax strategist- Tax consultant - Tax plannerIt all means basically the same.

Property taxes are also insane.

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you .

After collecting tenant pass-throughs for the year, do you pay the property taxes at the end of the year or the beginning of the next year?

I was just reading Mark's book "The Tax & Legal Playbook" this morning and it specifically had a "critical warning" (page 31&32 in Chapter 3).
