Although I didn't experience anything but good friendly service from our local branch, BofA's flaws are woven deep into their corporate fabric and executive lining.

Yes, with some digging all of my assets are uncovered but I just don't want to be too obvious of a target.

The only flaw that I can see to this problem (and I'm sure there are more that I'm not seeing) is what if his friends take those listings, go to the places themselves, make a deal to rent an apartment, and cut me out completely? 

Pick an aspect of the flip and it went wrong: over schedule, over budget, manpower issues with contractors jumping off the job, design flaws, payment terms, forgot to fill the oil tank over the winter and ruined the radiators and downstairs flooring...

A therapist is a good place to work out flawed thinking put in your head by whoever raised you. 

It's silent to any registration requirements, but I've never heard of any requirement other than the NJ DCA green card filing for this type of property in JC.Let me know if you're able to uncover any other details...

Plenty of fun things to check out and opportunities to uncover!

Also the argument of taking on debt for tax purposes is flawed logic.

@Neil Schoepp There are lots of great reasons to live in the Triangle area of NC, most of which you have already uncovered.  

Once you get it under contract, then you can look to uncover some "hidden problems"  I would advise hiring an inspector, just like you would on a personal residence.If the seller is intentionally hiding an issue, there is not a lot you can do before hand, as even a good inspector can only do so much.
