I am currently focused on tax strategies for our LLC (partnership with spouse).Can we sign a lease agreement with our LLC to provide/pay rent for use of our personal home/property, to include a portion of utilities, HOA, and insurance?

Banks are going to look at you to serve as a personal guarantor, even if the property is purchased in an LLC.

Share the details of your project as much as possible and let them know how much involvement and communication you desire from that person. 

My biggest recommendation is to write down all of the "Use cases" you would like and then determine which software actually works better for you personally. 

You will still have to personally guarantee the loan, but the paperwork is in the name of your entity.  

I personally have bought all of brrrr and flip projects in Columbus.

I dont have any personal experience but have always been interested in the better group zip codes.

(Other than the fact you have to reinvest all cash received obviously.)You also know that a personal residence can’t be 1031’d unless it was also a rental before sale, so the $250k exclusion wouldn’t apply unless it was both a primary and a rental.

it is possible to use personal contacts to find deals.

You’re probably thinking, I don’t know this person so why should I get involved… just remember that we’d both be in the same boat, we both have to trust and respect one another, but read to the end, and learn more about me.I was born and raised in San Jose, California by my beautiful, wickedly smart and fiercely independent single mother.
