What does the investor owner get for all his brain damage and actual risks assumed, I suppose he works for nothing.Never said there weren't GCs with degrees, if the have one in finance, accounting or economics they should understand that one is a paid agent/employee and the other is the owner-risk taker and that there is a clear distinction of rights to profits.The scammer types seem to put themselves out in a residential deal as if they are the engineer or architect, which they are not, nor are their risks or liabilities extended to such heights, yet the want to be treated as if they are in the same domain and be compensated in a similar manner.

Each side is distinct.  

When you analyze the rent rate and housing prices it begins to be a clear distinction as to why a lot of investors buy here despite the crime and favorable tenant laws.

There are some important distinctions.

@Bill Nolan @Alina TrigubWhen using leverage with an IRA, Roth or Traditional, your IRA may owe UBIT as a result of generating UDFI, which is a form of UBTI.Those terms (UBIT, UBTI, UDFI) get used interchangeably, but do have distinct meanings.UBIT = Unrelated Business Income Tax: This refers to actual IRA tax liability; the amount that it owes to the IRS, based on compressed trust tax rates.UBTI = Unrelated Business Taxable Income: This is the type of income that generates UBIT liability. 

Thank you (the distinction of Stem Walls versus piles will help me in talking to contractors/Flood People).

Yep, that's DEFINITELY mold--looks like there was flooding, based on the distinctive mold / water line. 

I don't think anybody's going to be arrested if an agent shares their MLS access with anybody.Thanks Steve...In case anyone thinks you're just being nit-picky, this is actually a very important distinction...I appreciate the correction to my mistake...

Landlords are not required to issue them unless it is their distinct trade/business.

You're just adding extra layers and complication at this point.If you are actively looking for other PM clients, then a LLC makes sense for that distinct company.
