As of last week, I am officially a Real Estate Agent and will be working for Laplante Real Estate based here in Toledo Ohio.

Just so there is no confusion on this "The reason you can't do a 1031 exchange is because the 1031 exchange has to be officially initiated before you "sell" the first property with the gain".  

Minimum wage is now officially $15 and that is not being taken away from people.

My current credit score is 756 and I also have an official LLC already!

I will add that we're going to get an attorney to draw up some paperwork and make this thing official, but why might it make sense to have a money partner on the loan?

The tenants knew I might not renew the lease after a year and and so they started looking for another place when I officially told them I was coming back.

Yes, you could file a claim, but may just send you down a road of meetings, paperwork, reports, etc. only to be officially denied in the end. 

You need to ask for the official marriage documentation.

I'm sorry that's no excuse to act that way in any profession especially from a town official. 

I'm going to contact city hall and see if this will be officialized, but it sounds like they have some leniency given that the moratorium and subsequent regulations (i.e 300 ft requirement) would put many people in financial straits.Glad the pro-STR crowd came out in full force at last night's meeting.
