If the property qualifies as an active trade or business, income may still be classified as non-passive under CA law, but this remains a gray area requiring strong material participation documentation.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

For example, instead of putting $200K into one cash flowing property, you could potentially acquire 2–4 properties with financing and spread your risk while growing your portfolio faster.If you’re leaning toward more expensive homes, just make sure the cash flow still works after all expenses (including financing, maintenance, taxes, etc.).

In this situation, there is a property zoned MF with one acre, enough space to add more than 4 (potentially 6 or 7).

One thing I’ve learned from working with real estate investors is: if you’re not consistently tracking the right metrics for your current portfolio or when researching new deals, it’s hard to know how properties are really performing.Below are the key financial metrics I believe every investor should understand.- Net Operating Income (NOI)This shows how much income a property is generating after paying for operating expenses (things like maintenance, insurance, and property management).

A group of us 4 investors are looking to form a partnership to purchase a property for commercial purposes and have a few questions about if we are going about this in the most efficient way.
