Scott provided a reference where it said that heloc interest was not tax deductible - this is because an old law allowed to deduct interest from a heloc regardless of its use, and this law was changed a few years back.   

This is what I'm referring to --> "Justice for Renters Act" This is coming up on this year's November ballot for the entire state. 

All you have is their track record and references from other investors to go on. 

I was just talking to a buddy of mine who's looking to enter the markets, and I still referred him to Mousa.

The above info is all in reference to my long term rentals.

If anyone knows or can refer a licensed engineer or architect who can help us out. 

When you say "MF" - are you referring to Multifamily and more specifically 2-4 units? 

In particular I refer to where RE investors are investing in residential RE. 

The first procedure, outlined in Section 105-374 of the North Carolina General Statutes (referred to hereafter as G.S.), pertains to a mortgage-style process and necessitates the initiation of a standard civil action within the state court.

In my state, owning an LLC is quite expensive (800/year), so the risk/reward calculation is a little more skewed, but still generally makes sense for larger MFR deals.The debate really heats up if you're talking about residential class (1-4 units) as there are material advantages to owning under your personal name.
