Hello From Mammoth Lakes, CA. 

The thing that gets me with this is that the big issue in California is fires right? 

Today when I called to inform them that I am 1031 exchanging 2 properties to 1 property in CA, they told me that they just changed their underwriting strategy in California last week due to the string of wildfires so they are not taking any new investment property at the moment.

Business Context:Need clean ownership structure for DSCR lending (debt service coverage ratio loan)Dad willing to cooperate but wants to minimize his tax burdenI want to avoid $1,400/year property tax increase if possibleBoth California residentsGoal: Transfer ownership for business purposes while minimizing total tax consequences for family.Any California tax professionals, CPAs, or experienced real estate investors dealt with similar Prop 19 situations?

@Greg Scott re-reading what you said Not in California was a clarification on my advise perspective so I am not in California, it was not directed at your advise. sorry it appeared that way.

California does not offer that environment today.

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on the best way to structure my business entity for rental properties and would love to hear your experiences or advice.I live in Texas, but I currently own two long-term rental properties in California.
