Then try to sell the land-home package.If not MLS, then I was thinking of approaching MH dealers to help sell the deal (some will funnel deals to their client list).  

A dealer, investor, and broker are all treated differently even if acquiring the same item.A dealer might capitalize a lot more amounts to the property, not depreciate, and only recover amounts upon disposal.She can capitalize and deduct up to 5k (my response in thread) because of de minimis rules of debt acquisition an individual would not and capitalize to the property.A loan for an S Corporation needs to be made directly to the S Corporation to receive basis.

Welcome Mark,There's also a meetup that happens at the Wilde Rover Irish Pub in Kirkland in case you end up visiting.

You cannot do 1031s on property you hold as dealer as inventory.  1031 exchanges are properly done on property being "held for productive use in business, trade or for investment".  

Also, if anybody has any questions about the Irish market or is interested in investing overseas in Ireland I'd be happy to help.

ONe of my car dealer buddies he owns probably 20 million worth of commercial RE.. he got that from making money in the car business.   

Jay, nobody's going to show up to an auction wearing a shirt that says "drug dealer" on it.    

You may not specify the insurance company, except for forced placement, but you are allowed to specify the coverage required as part of your offer to finance letter, which normally limits the acceptable insurers to about 5 companies.If you are a small volume seller/lender (like a Lonnie Dealer) there is another solution that is far more affordable than setting up your own finance company and, just as importantly, totally legal.

An example might be helping you neighbor sell their car, you find a buyer and the car owner flips you a reward, that may fly without having to be registered as a car dealer, but that is not acceptable conduct in real estate.

This will never happen.You see, they realize that the property has already been exposed to hundreds of active buyers at this price…the chances of You finding a buyer on your own to pay more is minimal.Think of this way…if you wanted to wholesale/flip cars, would you go buy your cars from your local Ford dealer and then try to sell them yourself for more on the street?
