@Lucien Gautreau
From a tax perspective, you want to consider purchase price allocations. For an rv park, you want to maximize allocations to campgrounds/land improvements for depreciation purposes, along with other tangible property. Consult with a CPA.

@Stephen Gregory
Bonus depreciation does not apply to real property. In other words residential and commercial. Had that been his answer then I would say he is correct.

Separate books and records for each Series LLC. You can leverage an accounting/bookkeeping program such as QuickBooks to assist in generating separate financials for each entity.

@Jason Sinclair
As Natalie mentioned there are a handful of CPAs in both areas you are looking for who represent clients such as yourself. Reach out to 2 or 3 and request an initial call and then hire who you think will best look after your interests.

Post: Irrevocable Trust / Any other trust used to protect assets

@Buddy Patrick
Trusts take many different forms. Placing an asset in an irrevocable trust provides protection but important implications to understand as well. Do you want to gift it or not? If you want to retain income, then probably not. Is it going to be a grantor Trust for tax purposes or non grantor? There are grantor trust powers that can be included in the document. You need to speak to a CPA and legal counsel before proceeding.

@Bruce Gardner
It’s time to consider a new CPA firm. Sure we are all busy but I never say no to a client who has a tax planning or tax consultation question. I also have the benefit of a deep team so that certainly helps. Maybe your CPAs team is not deep - not that this is an excuse for him.

@Joshua Brodnicki
It is possible. From a tax perspective, there may be additional filing requirements such as partnership withholding forms and the Canadian investor having to file annual income tax returns as well. It would be ideal for you/them to have a CPA who can provide guidance on tax issues.

@Manny Franco
Was there a mortgage payoff? Selling expenses? The 1099 is gross sales price not net cash received.
