This may be able to isolate the income so it is just LLC business income instead of rental income and you can still keep the tax free allowance.

I even had someone suggest I put the LLC in a trust so it's totally seperate from me ... the problem here is that i'm getting wierd answers ... some people say that I will have issues getting a mortgage or insurance or whatever ... how would you structure this to isolate yourself from divorce?  

Plus, it's so far from my family, and so isolated.

The city does not like to make isolated pockets of residential areas.

I would if I solely think like a hard money lender and focus on the upcoming project as collateral and see the potential with that one.

Am I SOL?

However, I would pick 4,5, maybe 6 methods to rigorously test for 6 months to isolate the critical few that generate the most deals.

Bottom line, I'd prefer to keep him if this is indeed an isolated incident, but I need my rent money.Other notes: He is still answering my calls, so he's not avoiding me as of yet.

That each individual is an isolated being born into the universe, barred from knowing "why", yet compelled to invent meaning.My second biggest fear is Jell-O.After that, I worry most, like @Brad E. , that I make a mistake so big that it hinders my ability to move forward at the pace I desire toward my REI goals.Bob
