Based on “substance over form” principles, it ruled that the IRA did not really own Roth Inc for two main reasons:• The IRA’ were exposed to no significant risk; and• An independent person in the IRA’s shoes could not realistically have expected a benefit.Since the IRA did not really “own” Roth Inc, the income really belonged to the taxpayer – and putting that money into the IRA resulted in a taxable “excess contribution”.More specifically, the court held that a $500 investment, absent any other significant risk, does not give rise to any real risk for the IRA.

The ceilings were almost brown, the carpet was full of burn holes and drink stains next to his easy chair.

But I'm not sure about liability if people would be walking through my home to get to the roof deck, using my bathroom, drinking alcohol, etc. 

If you are new to real estate please don't discuss any potential deals that you are looking at unless you have them under contract or know the people you are discussing it with.No cost except your own food/drinks. 

Any agent who gets involved in this is a dumbass..An agent, who belonged to one of the MLS I do, was offering this type of arrangement up to investors on BP. 

If the tenant signed a 12-month lease, the "last month's rent" belongs to the 11th month, not the 5th.
