However there is an AGM and the financials are independently audited.

The temptation to pass on bogus costs and skim is great and limited partner most always has bad results.Such as: cash calls, lawsuits, errors, hiring family and they are vastly overpaid, tax audits to name a few. 

I'm one of those that if I have a nightmare it involves either getting struck by lightening or getting called into an IRS audit.  

Hint: look for a solar architect, who acts as an adviser and works for you and audits the installer project proposal.Many states/utilities are no longer allowing net metering (kWh for kWh) and use instead all kinds of payback schemes (e.g. if you over-produce, they will gladly take your kWh for 3 cents and graciously allow you to take it back at night for 22cents - end result being, if your system is not properly sized, you will be producing energy for the utility and never recover the costs of the installation).

I've even thought of buying a rental house to offer to a full time employee to move to this area but I'm not sure if that would just create more headaches in the long run) Employer responsibilities; payroll taxes, administration and audits.

I pay about 250 and that is because I pay for audit protection and to speak to a live Agent to review my return. 

It's like a 2-minute audit. 

I bet the IRS would love to audit someone like that.. :)

I have CPAs for tax questions and taking care of the LLC returns, as well as for any "random" state audits of the LLC (which do happen - they claim they are random, but they are looking for LLCs not paying state unemployment taxes).That's all I have needed for over a decade of being a part of multiple different business ventures. 

Hope to never need them or get audited, but I've got all the records for each year if I ever need them.
