People are allowed to represent themselves in business transactions and even some court actions and pleadings like evictions without legal representation.  

Since I have such regards for Our Constitution and our Justice System, I will state that a man or a Company is innocent until proven guilty by facts not opinions.

My point: Be sure you are legitimately getting what the tax laws allow, because the IRS is going to come at you as if you are guilty first.

@Ben C.1) It is true that there is a higher chance that the IRS will audit a SMLLC's schedule C/E over a multi-member LLC.The reason for this is there is likely statistics that SMLLC's are less organized than multi-member LLC's.With the IRS - you are guilty until proven innocent.

(Maybe not you, but definitely I'm guilty!)

Also, coming from a guy who underwrites over $1B in assets each year I've found its wise to approach the analysis process with the mindset of "Guilty until proven innocent".

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

It will make robo signing and predatory claims and "produce the note" lawsuits look tiny in comparison.The law has a provision that essentially voids the loan if the lender is found guilty.

Happens a lot with at fault auto insurance where the not at fault person files a claim against the guilty party.

I’m an extremely fair landlord and my units are reasonably priced so I don’t feel guilty asking my full price which is $400 less than the nasty units close by.
