Hey simple question guys/girls,

When making business purchases on Amazon, do I deduct the taxes taken out as well, or exclude that?

Thanks.

 So at what point would you cut it off and deduct to just one property?

Anything under $5, $20 ,$100?

Hey guys, I feel like this is a dumb question, but do I deduct non property specific items across all my properties right?

For example buying a bigger pockets book, I want to deduct it under "other" as education, and it's $15. Would I deduct $5 from each of my 3 properties.

Thanks.

Hey guys

I'm trying to start thinking about developing my business entity's/ branding for my real estate property holdings and acquisitions. As well my tenant management side of the business.

My question is? Do you think I should create and brand two different businesses, one to be the tenant management company and one to be the investment company?

Or should I just keep them together and brand it self as duel purpose?

Whatever I decide to do in the future, I would use an LLC structure. Also I realize tax benefits and liabilities can play factors into this decision, and I plan on consulting a lawyer and my CPA.

I would love to hear anyone who has experience in this for their advice.

Thanks.
