.- Watch out for residential tax exemptions, and be aware of which towns / cities have them.

I'm thinking of calling again to speak to a different rep, but based on the rules and exceptions you've listed, would I qualify for an exemption to the 50% LTV although my personal name has never been on title?

None of this speaks well for owning property in an IRA.While trying to find related examples, I found another argument I would have certainly lost regarding accounting for a checkbook controlled IRA LLC: “Providing un-tracked accounting services for your own IRA LLC can result in a both an excess contribution and a prohibited transaction.”http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/02/prweb4300264.htmAccording to the article, “Although there are some exemptions for services provided to a retirement investment plan, they do not extend to services provided to entities owned by the plan.”I guess you guys are right.

Within 2 years of this or during a tenant turover, you have to pay to have your walls tested for LPB lead based paint, no exemption on property size (ex:sfr or 500 unit) Unless it was built after 1978, certified free of LBP, SFR or duplex and rented under 6 months, and some other wacky exemption.  

If you live in the property for at least two years before selling, you might qualify for the capital gains tax exemption under Section 121, allowing you to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married filing jointly) of the gain.

Exempt Home, perhaps?

I want to know what your experience has been as far as these smaller lots being exempted from current code minimums.

You can sell the coop and purchase any type of real estate you want.The rule for the primary residence exemption os that you have lived in it for 2 out of the 5 years prior to selling. 

I wonder if tax's shot up because you lost your owner occ exemptions some state non owner occ tax's are 2X 3X higher than if you live in the property.. its one of those gothcas that happens in those states.
