Bill,For tax year 2011, AT&T Inc will be receiving 1099-MISC; the Inc exemption disappears in tax year 2011 reporting.This is what makes this legislation that introduced this change so onerous.

Legislators are hoping to draw in more international dollars by lifting the ban on foreigners owning property within 50km (31 miles) of the coast or within 100km (62 miles) of an international border.Foreigners are currently able to purchase coastal property by using a third-party Mexican bank as a trustee.

The law is expected to be abolished or revamped when the next legislative session meets in 2007.Hope this helped.Jim Watkinswww.dfwmentor.com

There isn't a ton of legislation on wholesaling in Texas but one wouldn't have to stretch the imagination to say that marketing properties you don't actually own could be performing the duties of a real estate agent.  

In speaking with the representatives from Airbnb that were in town several times working on this legislation, they say that the regulations passed in Columbus are now being used by Airbnb as "model regulations" for all cities to use to get the best mix of protections, taxes, permitting, and rules for short term rentals to thrive as a lodging option for visitors. 

Sometimes this means you must make decisions that bends or gives the impression of ignoring legislation.

We're operating commercial businesses in residential neighborhoods with residential regulations and residential loan products because legislators have been slow to adjust to the fact that Airbnb isn't just people letting someone crash on their couch anymore. 

Actually Jamie this wasn't two parties holding up legislation.

At the same time, this Congress must assess the true nature of the mold issue before rushing into legislative action.

One would think that the government understands this and would pursue legislation that benefits investors in some way.
