No, material costs sit nearly identical.

It’s also a lot safer to use a cc to protect against identity theft.

But I'll need to build the road myself, which will likely be costly (especially since it'll involve clearing some trees first).Next to the property I'm buying there's a second nearly identical lot for sale that has the same access problem.

If you sold and rebought the identical condo in the same building your cost basis would be the new higher cost, so you’ve captured all the gains tax free.  

My only suggestion with Zillow is to TRIPLE check the persons Identity (Have them show you their driver license during a showing), Call their last landlord, and call their employer.

Maryland LLCs are public information.Why would you want to hide your identity from your tenants?

For $295, you can buy a fake identity including id, selfie, tax return, utility bills, credit file, even a phone number where someone will verify employment.

I’m licensed in NJ and the practice exams had identical questions to the actual test.

They should perform identically.

@Brandon Stiles the process steps are identical - how you execute them is different.
