Rob,Who ever told you that you need a SSN to run a background check been drinking way to much Boone farm apple wine.

Neither are rocket science which Craig may have a better understanding of, but you're comparing apples and oranges.

I see too we're talking apples and oranges, I'd say we were starting out with investment property purchases, then drifted to owner occupied homes and SDIRA loans from your accounts that must be on a N/R basis for tax requirements.

You need to be protected from that one bad apple or many.

Its also called The Real Estate CPA Podcast on Apple (they cant get the name changed for some reason).

Fair market rents are generally based on comparable rents in the area of investment but one should use common sense in this evaluation just as one would with comparables to determine the retail value of a subject investment.We call this "Apples to Apples - Oranges to Oranges" evaluation.

There are a few bad apples that have caused an ugly stigma for this particular real estate practice.

Being from the WEst coast were we have no ethic division or anything else ethnic at the time I went Cupertino High School you may have heard of Cupertino ( now home of Apple and a bunch of rich engineers and average home price of well over 1 million) but anyways we had NO ethnic diversification 2k student population we had 2 African Americans.

e.g. one portion orange, one portion kale and one portion apple juice or whatever.I wouldn't listen to people saying that there is no money in it.  

So you aren't comparing apples to apples.
