Highlights/Topics:

Can I offer my condo as a rent-to-own rental for six months and sell it as a 1031 exchange? If you’re offering the condo as rent-to-own, you’re contemplating the sale of that property, so it becomes a sale property, not a rental property, and taxed differently
Should I invest into limited partnership (LP) multifamily syndications with the same LLC as I have active personal rentals? Ideally, everything should be in its own LLC or you may be at risk for outside liability
I am a co-founder of a startup (C Corp). Can I establish a self-directed Roth IRA and put my company share in it? Yes, you can, but it depends on how you go about doing it - Rollover as Business Start-ups (ROBS)
