Starting a lawncare business and charging your own properties

Starting a lawncare business and charging your own properties

Hello Everyone,

I own a few properties that require lawn care and snow removal. I currently contract this out. I am considering doing this myself, but was wondering if there is any tax benefits in creating a separate LLC for this and charging my own properties for this service? Of course there is savings for doing this myself and not contracting it out, but can I benefit in other ways? Please give me your thoughts. has anyone else done this?

As a pass through LLC, there's really no benefit. You have expenses in your property management company, and income in your landscaping company, they cancel each other out.

Of course, you doing your own work and charging others to do theirs, that sounds potentially profitable!

    @Jeff Iverson - check to make sure it's legal. If so, it seems like a good business decision.

    No point . You claim new income in hopes to write it off elsewhere. I’m failing to see the benefit on this
