Again, this is worth spending time with a lawyer to confirm my interpretation.

g=f1368e53-ee63-4c69-beec-f7efa6e44297Basically if you set things up right you can increase your MID beyond the $1 M it is currently capped at... or at least that's my interpretation.

@Brian EastmanThanks for the clarification.I see how using certain terms such as dividends, interest of certain other investment income can be interpreted in a way which the IRS doesn't agree. 

Thus, I believe this is the very situation that the IRS amended the rules in 2008, if this interpretation is correct.

I'm not a tax professional, but this is my interpretation based on discussions with my CPA and discussions we've had here on BP...Intent is key in this situation.

Hey Toby Johnston You have received thorough advice and wisdom.I interpret more of what you are asking is, "how much per door."

But, their interpretation leaves much to be desired.

Not to mention that renting out rooms individually is also illegal unless you live in the apartment.Think your interpreting the law wrong, but the net result is the same.

Even then the contract might be open to legal interpretation and the series of events that happened.

Definitely leaves some room for interpretation!
