If you had an entity then you would want to keep the identity of the entity separate from your personal identity for a liability reason.

Specifically Nevada protects you from identity, state tax for some amounts (you simply pay state tax on your salary from the llc), it has "a corporate veil that is very hard to pierce" discouraging people from coming after you with law suits.

If this is something you'd like to do, it's quite easy and the costs are identical to any other development scheme. 

I would dispute the charge/account with Direct TV, just like I would for anything that is a result of IDENTITY FRAUD!!!

Title says it all ... just curious if anyone has any data about the resale value of otherwise identical properties, one zoned res 1, one zoned res 2.

Yeah, there's always a chance ... your property could not appraise, your credit identity could be stolen and this may take time to repair, the market could shift and banks could tighten their lending standards on investment properties ... the possibilities are endless.Moral of this story - you have to weigh 'chance' and 'probability' differently

This really is a simple thing. three identical lots, two combined, one separated and split even....... 

I figured $130k for two reasons. 1) as I mentioned across the street was a near identical home that was purchased for $130k by an investor who decided to tear down and rebuild (think they are doing multifamily) . 2) the seller shared with me a contract from a known wholesaling/buy and flip investor group that offered $130k out the gate.

Identical 3 bedroom houses next door to each other. 

They end up with the exact same interest rate, and just for kicks these two people are otherwise perfectly identical in all other ways.Are there scenarios where A and B will have different write-offs at the end of the year?
