i officially said that this whole negotiating thing wouldnt get to me and i'd be able to do it easily.

From a tax perspective If I end up spending 50K on the building, would I still be able to write off the capital repairs and take the depreciation of the building even if I'm not the official owner?

I don't even want to waste time on their project submission process if these guys aren't official.

It seems to me its a grey enough area to say it is ok until you get told otherwise by someone official, am I wrong?

I'm sending you guys a connection request and I'll also start working on a post for an official STL meetup.

This is all new to me, but I'm already working closely with a lawyer the specializes in the purchase of real estate at tax auction, etc.Anyway, while I'm waiting to officially confirm ownership and confirm the title is clear, etc.

I believe my loan officer had already talked to the underwriter and a VA Rep about whether VA will cover this property but as far as official documentation saying they won't, I haven't seen any in fine print.

Have you officially made it back to San Diego?

I had the P.A. in a small Northern CA county use my services a few years ago who also wore the hat as city attorney (maybe some other official designations, too.).

I have been in negociations with the seller verbally and via email but have not submitted an official offer, which I had planned to do today.
