You are actually a better match for a passive investment strategy, using syndication/crowdfunding.

@Ryan MurdockMontezuma had his revenge and then lit a match!

Thank you SamI got a project that I’m willing to put in contact in Redwood City... it’s a distressed home... contractor I took gave an estimate matching these numbers you mentioned...are you a cash buyer here in the Bay Area?

I'd get lease agreements from both tenants and landlord to compare and make sure they match up.

Court is going to look at those activities to match your treatment on this loss. 

We need to build our network of wholesalers, so even if your current properties don't match this listing, please reach out so that we can add you to our contact list for future opportunities!

I think you’ve got to match up your goals and what you do with the properties.

It was suggested that I install luan to increase the height of the floor and try to match it to the hardwood, but that is a lot more work and I am not sure this is even a good idea.What would you suggest I do to these floors? 

Or do they just see that the EIN is associated with a 401k plan so they know not to expect an tax return to match up to there database with the associated 1099 filed?

I take the full 6% company match on my 401k but nothing more.
