@Daniel TorresWhen you mention “investors” that plural means in most instances you would need to file for a sec exemption unless it’s one investor for one deal (or in CA can do trust deeds).It’s up to you whether you offer debt or equity.

The filings cost more and the process is a little slower than 35 days, but much faster than 6 months and far more consistent.

Simply own and live in the home for 24 months of the past 5 years from the date of sale, and receive a tax benefit of up to 250k of excludable capital gains from tax or 500k if married and filing jointly. 

Find out if you can file a lien. 

After getting the DBA you will need to file for a Federal EIN.

I know in Washington state a home owner can do their own work including electrical and plumbing, but as you pointed out has to live in the property for 1 year after completion.If you get licensed as a contractor (in WA state it takes some paperwork, filing fee and insurance/ bond, no test, no experience etc.. )  Then you do the work under you contractors license and no holding period needed. 

However, my title search and the cases regarding the divorce and both foreclosures do not contain a quit claim filing at the county clerks office.

@Robert WilliamIf he doesn’t want to lose his home he needs to file bankruptcyIf he wants the most money he then he should just sell it.These are two very different things

Rarely does it make sense to file a claim where a monetary collection objective exists unless there's insurance proceeds potentially waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

Smoking is considered cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookahs, water pipes, vapes, e-cigarettes, and any other like instrument that produces smoke or vapor, regardless of whether tobacco or other consumables are used.
