I am wondering, is that the most Tax efficient way moving forward as I purchase more properties and forms more LLCs?

I’m Selma, based in Florida, and I’ve been diving deeper into property management and the tech that makes real estate operations more efficient.

The tax side of the property, especially via cost segregation.Here’s the so-what: A well-structured purchase backed by cost segregation turns a high-performance cabin into a tax-efficient business rather than just a rental home.

Someone managing mostly Class A apartments might not be the right fit for small multifamily or single-family homes.Communication Style: Pay attention to how quickly they respond and how transparent they are — that’s usually how they’ll treat you and your tenants too.Problem-Solving Attitude: Things will go wrong — maintenance delays, difficult tenants, late payments — so look for someone who’s calm, proactive, and solution-oriented, not just a messenger.Technology & Systems: Make sure they use good software for payments, maintenance tracking, and communication.

There are almost zero efficiences gained with 2-4 unit properties.

I know a lot of investors don’t like sharing their agents for obvious reasons, but how can I do this efficiently without wasting time on trial and error?

It also has a bunch of really unique benefits/tools for your rental portfolio (Lease Indication Tool, Expense Tracking, Maintenance Requests, Rent Collection, Tenant Communication, etc.) in one central place.

We can't afford to not be pricing right with the significant double-digit increases in insurance and property taxes, especially in Houston.Decentralized Service -- I realize this is done to be more efficient/cost effective but it's more than quadrupled the time it requires me to "manage" them/PM. 

In general, real estate is a highly efficient market, if you are seeing 20%+ net IRRs, just know there real risks in the investment in various ways. 

Sometimes partnering with solid vendors ends up being more efficient and scalable, especially when volume fluctuates.Curious to see how others have balanced it successfully.
