Just cutting the child a check without issuing a W-2, without potentially reporting on the applicable Form 94x series (and state equivalents), without having a completed I-9 and signed contract on file...if I was an IRS auditor I'd deny the deduction, and claim the checks were gifts, and you'd have a very hard time proving me wrong.Unless the child is going to be working a lot in your business, the juice may not be worth the squeeze here. 

The juice wasn't worth the squeeze on a $400k house. 

REal estate is Belly to Belly.. now with the internet and folks texting this art is being lost. 

Take the first applicant that met your criterion and most willing tenant gets the juice.

Fatco wanted 5 years .. but we got Fidelty to insure the day we got the Tax sale deed and recorded it. the fact is there is no redemption period in CA.however reality is if your only buying a few properties a year your not going to have any juice with a title co.. the one that insured ours ( we closed 500 plus transactions a year)..worse case scenario is wait a year and sell it.We did have one property that we bought were they challenged the sale and the county F up and the judge nullified the sale.. so one in 40 years

Additionally there was a empty orange juice gallon bottle container outside of the condo unit used to water the plants outside and they just left it in the picture whereas I would’ve moved it out.

No wasted time when people don't show or are late etc etcHaving multiple groups there at the same time ramps up the "competition" factor....the people see 3 other groups looking around and the competition juices start to flow....people want what other people wantYou can address the same questions and topics to multiple people at the same time without having to do the same sales pitch a dozen timesUnless logistically you really need to do individual showing, I would do a more "open house" format....way easier and less wasted time

It is difficult to find deal so good that there is enough juice in the deal for both you and the end investor. 

In addition, it gets your creative juices flowing and its fun. 

The corporation goes belly up for any reason whatsoever, should the CEO have to sell his summer home and all his assets to pay the corporate debt?
