Bob V. Best Way to Structure business entity (LLC?) for Rentals in CA and TX?
4 November 2025 | 5 replies
.• If your STRs qualify under the STR material participation rules, you could use bonus depreciation to offset W-2 income—LLC ownership doesn’t take that away since income still flows through.Cross-state strategy:• You don’t necessarily need one LLC per property—many investors group properties (by state or risk profile).• You could form a Texas holding LLC and register it as “foreign” in CA if you want uniformity, but this means you’ll still pay CA’s $800 tax per year.• A common approach: keep CA rentals in your own name with strong insurance, put TX STRs in a TX LLC, and avoid mixing states in one entity.Tax angle:• Whether you hold rentals in an LLC or personally, depreciation, expenses, and Section 179/bonus depreciation still flow through to your return.• The entity affects liability more than taxes—unless you elect S-Corp treatment for active businesses (not usually recommended for rentals).This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
