I think most of us are pretty easily able to make the distinction between someone who comes on here looking to sell something and someone who wants to add value.If you are not here for the right reasons, I don't see why people reminding "new members" of the rules as a bad thing, although I would probably do it less aggressively than some.

May be different in your area, but there is still a major distinction for most buyers.You seem very confident about the ARV, but then you say lots of stuff that indicates you think you might not be able to sell the house.

I do not believe in commingling assets plus you avoid a DOS which I know is a not going to happen but you know doing it this way it never can since you are following federal law specifically USC 1701 j d (3) or Garn St Germain Act of 1982 under section 8a.No only do you get anonymity in your real estate holdings you get a degree of asset protection not ironclad yet nothing really is..Most investors do not understand the distinct advantages of using land trusts in their investing there are actually 30 realized benefits if not more.What you should also consider if you wish to leverage this property for the higher lease payment is you can do a tax lease trust and have the beneficiary take the active tax write-off following IRC 163 h 4 (d) and no tax advice intended and that is a tax lease trust since you probably wish somebody to take care of the property and a N-N-N lease would work very well in that case.

There is no longer a distinction between personal and SMLLC assets."

But, the distinction is important enough that I would suggest everyone who doesn't know the difference (and the relationship) spend some time learning.Here's another good read:http://stats.org/in_depth/faq/causation_correlation.htmOnce you understand that causation has a VERY SPECIFIC mathematical definition, you'll start to see why three random examples from Rich and one from you doesn't prove anything.In fact, when the most educated, experienced and respected economists in the country don't necessarily agree that there is a causative affect between taxes and unemployment, Rich's three examples and your one example aren't going to prove otherwise...regardless of how much you guys thinks you've "proven" it.

Ofgift,I was making a distinction between a "service animal" and an "emotional support animal."

Since this is legal advise, I wouldn't recommend telling this to the seller unless you are an attorney and he has retained your services"If you have a contract with the seller, they HAVE to sell to you"No contract can "make" a party perform, at best it can be the basis for a specific performance lawsuit; the courts will determine enforcabilityThese points may seem like nitpicking, but I believe are important distinctions to commonly misunderstood and mistated beliefs.

So we had another thread about securities definitions earlier today and there was some good discussion there. The point was made that management was the key concern for something to keep from being deemed a security ...
