Post: Changing ownership of rental properties to LLc

I'm looking to move my single family houses into an LLC instead of my personal name.
By doing this transaction, will the county recorder consider this a sale of property thereby re-assessing the property value for property tax purposes?
And causing an increase in taxes since the value of the houses have gone up according to comps?
Thanks!

Michael S. yes the oven is atleast 4yrs old. It was used when we bought the property so not sure exact age
Hi!
My tenants have complained that their oven seems to have stopped working properly. They said It turns on and produces some heat but not enough to actually cook anything. Also a couple of the burners won't light without holding a lighter to the gas.
Any one know what this could be and how to remedy? Or time for a new oven all together?
Thanks!

Hi Landlords,
How do you return your previous tenant's security deposit? Do you send it certified mail?
In your state how long do you have to return it?
Thanks!

I ran a background and credit check on a potential tenant. Credit came back great. Btwn 650-800 (no codes) but for background there were records of state income tax liens...what exactly is this and would you not rent to this person with that on their records?

How much does it typically cost to have a standard porcelain tub stripped and reglaze? Any tips on going about selecting the right company/technician for this job?
