Keep a few things in mind: 1) Some lenders do have a 'seasoning' period, although mine was only 6 months and it wasn't an issue for them; 2) Your lender WILL conduct an appraisal (which you may or may not have to pay for depending on lender) to determine a new, current value; 3) They will lend an amount to you based on a total LTV (loan to value).

The problem with that is they are trashing the place they are conducting illegal activity they are not even real tenants !

You can conduct the RE activity on your own name to qualify for the deduction.

Hi there, Can someone kindly help me, i'm trying to figure out how to conduct a search on the forum using certain words but i can't figure it out to save my life?!

No changes to the Purchase Contract can be made without written Consent of BUYER.b)Disclosures and Acknowledgement:i)ASSIGNOR and affiliated associates make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding inspection reports or other reports provided to ASSIGNEE by ASSIGNOR or third parties concerning this property.ii)ASSIGNEE acknowledges they are conducting a transaction dealing directly with ASSIGNOR for the purchase of SUBJECT PROPERTY.

Hi all,Here is my information pertaining to my question of which state is the best to start an LLC in:The business will be selling dried fruit.The location of preparation, packaging and shipping of the product is in California (at least initially, run from out of my house).I will be the only employee (most likely for several years anyway).Business will be conducted online only, selling to anyone living in the U.S., Canada or Mexico (initially limited to these county's due to shipping scales of economy, to be expanded elsewhere if I can get shipping costs down).I ask this question for the purposes of:Paying the lowest LLC start up and recurring costs related to the LLC.Having the least amount of paperwork required to start, and maintain the LLC.Having the most comprehensive protection for such a business (& of course, for me the individual owner of the LLC).Aside from the LLC, I will get a CA class a cottage food permit and of course pay CA taxes. 

Am I as the buyer able to sue the owner of closing company/person who conducted title search due to fraud/negligence or do I only have a breach of warranty case against the previous seller (who is a master of setting up and dissolving LLCs to conduct similar high risk deals - unknown when transaction began)? 

Make sure you conduct a title search for clean title.Good Luck.

It always makes me chuckle when an amateur Landlord assumes they know more about screening applications than a professional, trained property manager that conducts hundreds or thousands of screenings a year.A lot of the fees you mention are normal but you should shop around.
