I was thinking from a legal perspective I would need to perform an OFAC check which is automatically done through my background check system(https://www.tenantbackgroundsearch.com).

Absolutely - plus it is automatically free to the buyer if listed on MLS. 

It just automatically withdraws the rent from the tenant's account each month and then transfers it to your account. 

I'm also seeing something about doing a 6 month lease option then automatically rolling it into a land trust for another 12 months or something along those lines.

(Again, if you have not read this document you really should as you could be found guilty of unintentional, but punishable discrimination)Section B"In the second step of the discriminatory effects analysis, the burden shifts to the housing provider to prove that the challenged policy or practice is justified – that is, that it is necessary to achieve a substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interest of the provider.  

If the tiles themselves are cracked and there is shifting in the vertical plane, then you would be better served to remove the tile first.

Either of you could will your half to whoever you want, but if the deceased didn't have a will, state law dictates who inherits their half, either the remaining spouse or other heirs.Community property doesn't automatically become the remaining spouse's property when one passes away.Maybe Google Community Property in New Mexico for more info.Cheers!

Hi All, While shifting gradually (15 years) from IT to real estate (10 years now F/T) and building a portfolio for self and others I'm actively pursuing to unlock equity in order to ramp up either residential or mixed use value-add properties in designated farms in Central to Northern New Jersey.Always open to J/V, sharing & learnig for a win-win.Chees!

My understanding is that it is vague and you just have to "spend most of your time there" - which I could do, but my kids would still be in school in California, so not sure if that automatically makes my California place that I rent my primary residence.Thanks for the feedback, guidance, and recommendations.

I look forward to learning all that I can so that I can begin in my own path of restoring my community.My main goal is to uplift my community and shift the mind set that "It will always be this way."
