When/if I sell is there anything I need to know?

BP removed my post. it was not even self-promotion. I am glad it helped. 

I'm not who removed it- but any links to your personal pages/youtube/IG ect are considered self promotion on BP. 

Unless it's a link to an official BP article/video that you did it's promoting your own brand.

Thank you for the info, Nat!! Are we close enough for me to call you that :)?

 You know it's funny- I was just telling someone how people either decide I'm Nat or Natalie like..day 1. I've had new clients start off with calling me Nat. haha

Talk to a planning attorney. 

Trust would be your best tool. Do NOT transfer directy to kids now or the properties lose the stepped up basis when they pass. That's how you as the on inheriting can essentially sell the asset tax free at that point.

If you can mess up 2 properties well. 

You can mess up 10 properties well. 

Your options are either: work with a good pro from the jump, or spend enough time to fully understand REI tax reporting. This includes depreciation setup, and renovation writeoff/capitalization. This is where we see the most errors on new investor's returns that need to be corrected later.

TL/DR

You're cash basis. 

You expense things in the year it was paid- regardless of what period it relates to.

There are some great options if you're interested in working remotely with someone who specializes in REI vs. someone locally.

Reach out to @Michael Plaks or @Steven Hamilton II. Both are REI specialized and work remotely.

I am not a CPA but I had 2 different CPAs tell me that if one member of the family is considered a RE professional and that spouse owns, for example,50% of the business, the couple can use only 50% of the depreciation to offset other ordinary income.

However, I have read in a accounting book that the family could use 100% of the depreciation if one of the spouse qualifies.

If someone in in this discussion nows best about this, I would love to hear another option.

Those 2 CPA's are idiots. 

If they marry MFJ then if 1 spouse qualifies all qualifying losses can be deducted against all income sources from either spouse.
