The clerk of court catches these (NCGS 45-21.12A Power of sale barred during periods of military service).

@Florence Oxenham, In light of a recent California Supreme Court ruling admitting an ILLEGAL immigrant to the California bar to practice law, I suspect the same will have to be true for all other state licensed professionals and immigration status should no longer be a factor... http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/03/us/immigrant-in-us-illegally-may-practice-law-california-court-rules.html?

Contrary to popular belief, being labeled a "dealer" doesn't mean that all your properties are subject to ordinary income; likewise, not being labeled a dealer doesn't mean that all of your properties are subject to capital gains.Each property will need to stand on its own merits, and the determination of whether a particular property should be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains will be made based on the intent of the transaction, not a "dealer" label applied to a business or individual.That said, if you are labeled a "dealer," you may find that you have a higher bar set for declaring one of your properties to be an investment as opposed to inventory.

I noticed there isn't a search bar to find certain topics..

Welcome to BP; You're experience should do you well on the other side of the see saw; let's hope the mortgage end of the business lowers the bar a tad.
