Doing business under a name other than your legal name before owning it is illegal (Title 18, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1140) and would raise flags if I was buying from you, but not everyone does due diligence like I do.

Florida Statute 162.09(3) provides:Chapter 162 COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL CODE ENFORCEMENTSECTION 09 Administrative fines; costs of repair; liens.(3) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine, or a fine plus repair costs, may be recorded in the public records and thereafter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator.I handled multiple title insurance claims where a CEL against one property was missed in a title search for a different property owned by the same party. 

Yet, the criminal courts are full of attorneys who differ on the meaning of a single word in a specific statute.

@Marc Sanders  The Mississippi state statutes are Title 27 Chapter 41 here.

Actually neither the CPA or QI are geographically dependent.  1031s are a federal statute practiced the same nationwide. 

Maybe not in the statute but I guarantee it will be in the mind of the judge.Talk to the neighbors if they are afraid and document it.I could go on, but take the pitbull (see what I did there?)

I didn't use a course when I got started, just read the information available through the counties and read the actual state statutes.  

California doesn't have a land trust statute like Florida does, for example. 

In reality, both parties' signatures are crucial for a contract to be valid and enforceable in Virginia.Here's the key point:For a real estate contract to be ratified in Virginia, it must be signed by both the buyer and the seller and delivered to all parties involved.Here's why:Virginia Statute 55-513.1 of the Code of Virginia clearly states that contracts for the sale, purchase, exchange, or lease of real estate must be "in writing and signed by the party to be charged thereby or by his agent."

The version of the statute up here in NorCal requires you to live on the property in order to legally rent out the other two units.
