A licensee doing a wholesale deal is indistinguishable from a net listing.Yes, I used to live in Massachusetts - where the laws were virtually identical. 

Many may be legitimate, but I have heard about mistaken identity leading to being off Airbnb for weeks/months. 

Even for flips/brokerage/wholesaling - there is minimal benefit in many cases to an S-Corp over just being a LLC subject to self employment tax, but getting the benefit of a 199A Qualified Business Income Deduction.Effectively all structures have very similar, if not identical, tax results. 

I love investors my self identity is a real estate investor,  but the last thing we all need is more perks from the government. 

Based on my research this pair operate under 42 different identities all over the map:  Company Name: COHEN INVESTMENTS, LLCState: FLCorporation Number: L05000082373Status: INACTIVEStatus Description:

Take for example 2 hones with identical size and bed/bath counts.

Criminals use it to steal your identity.

The monthly payment was identical to 5% down due to rate differences.

If the tax assessed owner died, it can be tricky figuring out the identity of the legal heirs.3.

Sometimes homes do not have the correct number of Bed's or Bath count or square footage so the calculation will not be correct.If you use the search tool to filter and look in that zipcode for "Identical" sold homes in the last (6 months) compare all of the most recent sales and proximity of up to 2 miles to gauge the value.
