While it is possible to purchase either the remaindermen interest or the life estate (or both) no conventional lender will finance such a fractional interest unless or until consolidated into one.Knowing thus can work in your favor.

That's the real reason to pay for the background check (consolidates nationwide).

If you're going to sit on the sidelines for months/years waiting for the perfect deal, go HELOC.If you go the HELOC route: after you've made your move, whatever and whenever that is, you could then do another refinance to consolidate the HELOC and the old first mortgage.

You can have one partnership llc that owns 8 LLCs 100% each and those will be disregarded and filed as one consolidated return.

@Brandon TurnerThis might be a job for a Intern to consolidate a lot of these questions not in an article but more like a moderated and consolidated forum.For example:https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/150875/?

Maybe someone could come up with a way to consolidate discussions about a particular portal?

FCI adds all correspondence to the account servicing notes, so I have a nice consolidated history on their portal. 

I just recently transferred two CC balances onto one card to consolidate my debt for the first time.

We do have someone right now that has serviced us in these areas in the past but want to see about consolidating some of our contracts or at least having a second bidding option. 

@Emily Di It looks like your problem is just a matter of consolidating and re-organizing your chart of accounts. as Michael mentioned, if you are using Plus version then you will need the Class feature (it needs to be activated in the settings) and create class for each property.
