LLC member (Limited partner from a legal standpoint but with management duties)Becuase of the LLC's limited partner's confusion, under the proposed regulations, subject to an exception noted below, an interest in an entity would be treated as an interest in a limited partnership under Code Sec. 469(h)(2) if:-the entity in which the interest is held is classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes under Reg § 301.7701-3; and-the holder of the interest does not have rights to manage the entity at all times during the entity's tax year under the law of the jurisdiction in which the entity was organized and under the governing agreement.

Listings created by the owners who self-manage are likely to be less formulaic.With regards to opportunities specific to Houston, consider local for sale Facebook groups and classified ads from the local newspapers and websites (perhaps the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Press have relevant listings).

Property appraised for 245k; however, it was classified as a c5 which prevented most lenders from issuing conventional financing.I contested the appraisal and the appraiser held their ground, but their supervisor told me that if I slapped a coat of paint on the cabinets (these needed to be replaced due to wood rot) it would be an easy c4.I paid $520 for a new appraisal, contacted all my family and friends, deep cleaned the home and put a fresh coat of paint on the rotted cabinets and over the doors.

I found this property on KSL.com under their classified ads.
