After weekly meetings and book clubs for the last 6 months, my three friends (and partners) and I have officially decided to start making the first serious step in finding a property, specifically in Kansas City.

The official answer would be to contact the local permitting office and find out what they will require. 

The biggest benefit as an agent of the MLS in regard to buying your own properties is that you can see the agent notes, you can receive updates through 'showing time' and you can use the official Realtor forms (Offer to purchase and contract 2-T) that make an offer look better than non-agents who write their offers on less familiar forms they find on the internet.

I guess the official change will either make this permanent or bring back some version of it. http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.c...

Septic permit is pending, but county official believes 10-20 spots could be had. 

We have officially crossed over to investors!

Other than that though I'm not sure what is important... a memorable name, official sounding, institutional...? 

Are there any further actions the LP needs to do for other states where the syndication was doing business (IE file a official state tax return?)

If you created one and operate under the LLC name - definitely a partnership.If you're Facebook official, then we're also supposed to believe your relationship status.

Unless it's a link to an official BP article/video that you did it's promoting your own brand.
