Interesting to hear that they are claiming that a lender sold all of their loans and kept the excess funds.

I'm not so worried about "anonymity" because the house is our primary residence, so we're not hiding, but we want to look like we don't have excess assets.  

Hello BP Community!My name is Jed Butikofer and I am currently located just outside Bakersfield, CA, but move frequently for work. Background: My mother was real estate agent and my dad knew construction so we flipped...

Any cash flow in excess is gravy (on the poutine, I would guess).

During the renovation phase, adhere strictly to the scope of work and budget, conducting regular walkthroughs to monitor progress and ensure quality.As the project nears completion, prepare for sale by staging the property to highlight its best features and create buyer appeal.

Find a lawyer and issue a lease violation for other issues such as excessive noise and furniture removal.

I looked back at my tax returns when I was doing the conversions from my traditional IRA to my Roth IRA and realized I had converted up to the limit of my standard deduction allowing that amount to be tax free, but the excess above that that I converted each year was at the lowest tax bracket, so while I did convert some money tax free each of those years I DID IN FACT pay more than a few cents in taxes on the amount above the deduction.  

This is a great space to connect with others working on similar projects and to pick up useful tips for each stage of construction.

In my opinion with this kind of business I can get a E2 visa and under this business I can be an investor, realtor, maintenance/Reno, staging etc. as you said I have to have a complimentary service business under property management to make margin. 

New build maybe a bit aggressive getting into real estate unless you have a builder as a partner in a deal to see the full steps or stages that go into new builds.Why new build?
