It’s my brother and 2 good friends that have some experience. the money lender would be a family member of mine lending out of their self directed IRA so they will be lenient with us.

I began the renovation process by enlisting the help of a relative and some of his friends to gut the interior.

I ended up hiring a local attorney who specialized in landlord-tenant disputes, and while it cost me a bit more upfront, it was worth it to get the situation resolved without additional delays.A close friend of mine also delt with an out-of-state eviction in Michigan last year.

One of my best friends thinks I'm rich and while I may have more than she does, I she was earning more than me for a lot longer (I make more than her now) but she spent her money on $6K vacations. 

The best way to find an investor friendly broker is at a RE meetup, but you can also just ask around in your local network or google.

 I can't count how many times my friends have called to ask what to do about their leaky ice dispenser.

Recoup those expenses, my friend.

I have a rule , never do business with family or friends .

But there is no black and white guidance that I could find.And, in conclusion...1st conclusion: no FICA until the child's 18th birthday.2nd conclusion: tax law is muddy (I would add two capital letters, but it's a family-friendly forum)3rd conclusion: pay your CPA, we have to deal with it daily, and it takes skill

We are rural and opportunities and maybe less frequent than other areas.
