My partner and i just lost all our investments with them they promised to do all the work and that we would collect the 18+% percent interest rate on our money basically all my certificates expired and my money is considered a "DONATION" WTF!!!!

We are  a small nonprofit in Maryland and I wanted to also add that you might consider having a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) that you can use in addition as an added tax strategy and consider us to donate to! 

In my personal opinion, I wouldn’t be as worried with some of the niche items, like a surround sound system, smart features, sauna.

Is the settlement fee something I have to pay since it wasn't a line item listed in the contract for seller's title expenses?

But, what they also sell is discontinued and misordered Lowes and Home Depot Merch.I have purchased over $200,000 of building materials from FTA.The number one item they have (and only periodically) is bath and shower tile.

Other than that, not factoring in replacement costs, big ticket item expenses, and not having any reserves are some main ones that come up. 

Over time the balance builds up in my account and will pay for any damage or lost items as needed.I started this process about a year and a half ago for all 3 of my properties.

If neither of these two items are an issue then I can't see why they wouldn't let you do it.  

Smaller ones are filling up within 12 hours and the large unit they left with 2x 5 gallon water jugs to empty into AND a catchment below....because obviously the sellers knew that it fills over 5+ gallons in just TWO DAYS.We have had to get a structural engineer in who has noted other water damage throughout the basement (unfinished) that was hidden behind sellers boxes and personal items during our inspection. 

An LLC doesn't provide you the ability to deduct something that wasn't deductible before.You also want to be wary of 2% itemized deduction which is what you are describing a lot of your expenses.They are currently non-deductible at the federal level.
