The VA loan has been my bread and butter while serving in the military. I am grateful each time I am afforded the opportunity to utilize it. Thank you all for your feedback and advice, I will consider all options and make the best decision after consulting with a tax strategist.

Thank you so much for the referral and kind words—I really appreciate it! I’ll definitely keep Briana in mind and would love to connect when the timing is right. At the same time, I’m gathering as many perspectives and resources as possible to make sure I build the right long-term strategy, so I truly value every recommendation.

This year has been a major leap of faith for me in both real estate and personal growth. Here’s my current situation and timeline:
-
2023 – Purchased a rental property (currently leased for 1 year, managed by my wife).
-
2024 – Bought a home, lived in it for 1 year, then fixed and sold it on June 16, 2025 (profit was minimal).
-
June 21, 2025 – Bought a new construction home, lived there for 2 months.
-
September 15th 2025 – Closing on another property.
Additional details:
-
Active Duty U.S. Marine
All properties are in Southern California
-
Licensed Realtor – netted $60K in 2025 from real estate commissions
-
Wife is already helping with property management
My Goal:
I want to strategically reduce my tax burden for 2025 and beyond. Specifically, I’m looking into:
-
Cost segregation studies
-
Bonus depreciation
-
Hiring my wife as a Real Estate Professional (REPS qualification)
-
Other legal strategies to hedge against taxes and maximize savings with real estate
My Ask:
If you are a CPA, tax strategist, wealth advisor, or experienced investor with proven methods in this space—or if you can refer someone—please share your insights and resources. I want to get ahead of my 2025 taxes, keep more of what I earn, and build long-term expertise in tax strategy through real estate.
I’m open to everyone’s feedback, referrals, and guidance.

Hello Jazzous, have you decided on submetering or RUBS?
I've recently started building a software application because I think there is an issue with potential earning lose due to overlooked measures in utilities. Specifically around efficiency in devices when not maintained and challenges with realizing potential earnings with device electrification upgrades. We have a solution if transparency in unit / appliance use is an issue.
I would love more information. I have been able to get a submeter on the electricity but will have to do RUBS for water and cover gas as I don't think RUBs is allowed for gas in Riverside county.

Quote from @Dan H.:
If I hired an attorney every time a person threatened a law suit or to seek legal representation, I might as well have one on retainer as it happens a lot.
The tenant gave notice. I do not allow tenants to retract notice without my approval. If they were my tenant I would proceed the same as any other tenant that had given notice. I would provide checkout instruction and checklist, offer a pre-move out inspection, and expect them out on the day that they indicated.
I would determine if the new CA anti-squatter law applies (do the research now). I would think it does because they terminated their tenancy and now are squatting.
If the law applies and they have not vacated the unit on the day they provided, get the sheriff to remove them (squatters no longer are required to be evicted).
If it does not apply, then I would wait to see if this escalates. In its current state I would be unconcerned. I have been threatened with lawsuits dozens of times. I have never personally been sued.
Threats are made in hopes to bully other people to get what they desire. They are typically groundless claims made by people with no clue. I have had smokers threaten to sue as though it is a protected class. I have had a lawyer threaten multiple times to sue because he does not like the way his easement through my property looks. I call him two-bit and tell him I keep waiting to be served. He currently heads in the other direction (almost runs) when I go his way. He is a bully who thought he could bully me. I have been threatened multiple times by someone that does not like the agreement he made to sell me a property (sellers remorse but it occurred 2 years after I acquired the property - or at least that is when he first communicated it to me (I told him I did not have a Time Machine).
Lawsuits are often threatened but most never amount More than a threat.
She gave notice through text when I sent her an official document she took it as I'm "influencing her" or pressuring her. Everything is in the text, I literally asked for clarification. She ignored it all, then I get this handwritten letter with several photos of references to what she believe justifies her case.

I would hold off on doing anything.
You shouldn't continue conversations with tenants after they leave. Do your inspection, deal with the deposit, and end it. If she continues to reach out, block her. If she mails you a letter, file it but don't respond.
I can tell from the way she writes that this is not a normal person. You made the mistake of trying to treat her like a normal, honest person. She senses the weakness and will try to take advantage of the situation.
I think there's a 90% chance she will disappear if you ignore her. Even if she does file a complaint with HUD, she would have to prove her case. You warned her about smoking dope, and she responded with a heart, which indicates she agrees with your claim. I don't see much danger here.
Her lease is still active. She has a one year lease. She never signed a 30 day notice to terminate. So she's still a tenant. My thought process leads me to believe that she wants to leave but needs the relocation fees. I already waived her termination fee which would be $3600. She could have signed the papers to leave end of April, walked away and gotten her $500 security deposit if there were no damages.
