@Janel York You could hire an attorney to create your LLC and be your “registered agent” which would be the information shown on the public records, the address for your LLC would be the attorney’s office.

IRC 469(c)(7)(B) and Publication 925 back this up, stating that the active participation of just one spouse can turn the entire rental activity non-passive.It sounds like your CPA may have misunderstood this rule.

Investing as a limited partner/ passive investor is a somewhat risky endeavor whether it in private placement or in the public markets.  

Review Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com's value estimates. 2) Learn to access your GIS/Public Records for your county.

The challenge is that the downstairs tenant currently has exclusive access to both the garage and backyard via their original lease agreement.As a family, we’d need a reliable parking space and a place for our dog to play.After reviewing public records, I saw that the lower unit was permitted in 2011.

Usually it's a 90 day or so, public notice period.

When you are dealing with off-market multifamily, having multiple verified buyers definitely helps protect you from being cut out.If you ever want general tips on how to identify real buyers—like checking recent public sales, LLC ownership records, or county filings. 

Perhaps discussions of further details should be held outside a public forum?
