I've grown up as a "daddy's girl" and learned many things while helping my father, like how to sand, stain, drywall, paint, caulk, do trim work, and much more. 

Other issue is I have another property in my name fully paid for and my father pays the taxes and HOI on it.

I didn't mean to commit fraud, I was just thinking, if I wanted to purchase a multifamily and my father backed me and my name was on it and I was living in it...

I suggested to her that we buy a home for her father (my father-in-law), have he and I do the rehab, and he’ll live in it after rehab, we should be able to get a small amount of cash flow once done.

A couple points I'll briefly address regarding the above posts: I'm an associate dentist in a group practice owned by my father.

I told him my father in law was lending me 25000, and the bank would give me 527000 if the property appraised out.

Hi,So my father has a mortgage on a 2nd home (cabin) in north georgia (we live in Atlanta).

I am a husband, father of two, electrician (for now) and aspiring real estate buy-&-hold investor. 

my father is a developer if you still need one 

Right now I am hiring my father as a handy man, so in order for me to deduct those expenses do I need to have an LLC and a spearate account for handling those transactions?
