Might be a little bit confused here, but from what it sounds like you were involved in purchasing the property, renovating it and then selling it?

I'm in Milwaukee and I have heard of a lot of bad stories involving this type of scenario...mostly involving out of state investors. 

@Venecia BaezThe action plan for real estate investing involves setting clear goals, assessing finances, choosing a market, building a network, understanding numbers, starting small, and learning from experience.

Most people cant afford that alone which means a syndicate or getting PMLs involved and doing the synd yourself. there's nothing wrong with starting with some smaller properties.

I also got involved with a builder in Florida who has yet to produce the first of three houses they're contracted to build, which was a major hit to my available funds as well, setting me further behind.I also figured if I fell a little behind in saving (18 months instead of 12 months for example), I'd still be making progress.

The official answer: The Corporate Transparency Act is intended to provide law enforcement with beneficial ownership information for the purpose of detecting, preventing and punishing terrorism, money laundering and other misconduct through business entities.Uncle Sugar requires us little guys to register and be tracked even though 99.999% of us are not involved in terrorism, money laundering, or other misconduct.

My wife also made it clear that if we were going to expand beyond what we already own, she didn’t want to be involved in managing them.

Also, do not become involved in your renter's utilities. 

To resolve this as quickly as possible, you can either choose to level with the person and see if they'll agree to move out on their own accord (you may need to offer concessions) or get an eviction attorney involved.

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.
