I've counseled clients in the exact same situation in Pennsylvania on the proper steps to comply with the 5 year look-back penalty under Medicaid rules using a gifting and Medicaid compliant annuity strategy.

@James Niemeyer sounds like you have a jealousy issue with someone who was successful in a major SEC compliant capital raise and fund.

They could again 1031 and place the money into more passive investments designed for retirement that provide good cash flow and 1031 compliant.4.

If your tenants are non-compliant with the lease, you can send them a notice with a set time period to cure the infraction (in Arizona I believe it is 10 days), and if they do not cure the infraction the lease will terminate.

This way we are compliant with CA usury laws and stay on the DRE/BRE's good side.

And they say they are compliant in all states, just name the state you need.In Mo. you can go to the Sec. of State web site and complete an LLC on line for 50 bucks I think it is, the form is free.To make an LLC operable or in complaince to do business you need an Operating Agreement, seems impossible to me to get that from an on line source or any guru unless you did business exactly like they suggest.

@Trevor MillerWelcome to BP.Your first stop (either virtually or physically) would be at the municipality to confirm whether the property is zoned such that building a duplex on the lot is possible and whether the lot dimensions are sufficient for two units.If you make it past that step, then you need to decide what kind of building you wish to construct and what you can afford to build:  i.e. minimum code compliant building; R2000 rated building; Passivhaus, etc.  

If a bank hires me to do a FNMA compliant report they don't want to opinionated comments.

On top of that they have the state looking at them to make sure they AND their agents are compliant.

Additionally new laws in Texas have made it much harder and more costly to "go after" non-compliant homeowners.
