I suspect we are both reporting our experiences accurately but the data sources are not identical and therefore the results are not the same.

@Ben - your situation is almost identical to mine!

Some agent provide bpo services almost identical to an appraisal, if not more.

for my CA license, the first school i went too wasn't good at all. the school linked below, their practice exam was like 99% identical to the state exam.. this was back in '04 fyi =)http://www.realestatelicense.com/

Now I tell everyone I talk to that I am a real estate investor.Honestly, another reason was that I wasn't very confident in my real estate knowledge and didn't want anyone to know what my real identity was if I said something silly here.

For IRS purposes, there is a Real Estate Professional status, so, maybe that was what LegalZoom was referring to.However, there is no tax benefit to be gained by having an LLC, so you may want to rethink whether you really need a business entity for just one rental property.Most rental property owners with circumstances identical to yours don't really need a business entity until their net worth is in the high seven figures.

Since SmartMove is designed as a consumer initiated website, requiring the consumer to authenticate their identity online and give permissions to release their credit and criminal information prior to the information being released to a potential landlord..

There are issues with releases.The notes and security agreements are identical with the exception of the amount, payment required and the legal description of the collateral.

Both Newbie and I have identical capital, but not sufficent to pay cash.

Now that I've looked closer, there are two other identical buildings hidden behind fences right next door.
