In late 2002 I received a call with my contact at the commission who informed me that (1) the commission would be dissolved due to the Texas sunset Laws and its functions merged into the Texas Finance Commission and (2) the director of the Texas Finance Commission considers fractionalized mortgage notes a security.  

I'd immediately become far more desperate and do all kinds of things that I'm not doing now because I'm not uncomfortable enough.A short story another investor told me a few years ago.Two friends are sitting on rocking chairs on an old wooden porch.

After 2 years at that company, I got an opportunity to become the Director of Commercial Real Estate at my current company which is where I am currently at.

We have been talking to the Chaffee County economic development director about rolling out a mod development there and then maybe doing more projects in Summit and other counties. 

@Julian BuickThis is a tricky question, and one to which you will likely get different opinions based on who you talk to.The IRS is not specific on this issue, and there is not any case law that we know of you can rely on for guidance.The key premise with the IRA is that there can be no direct or indirect benefit between the IRA and a disqualified party - in either direction.Many tax professionals are comfortable with the idea of joint venturing between IRA and personal funds, so long as:The investment is entered into jointly on day one (you cannot sell or exchange interest between the parties).The initial equity percentage is maintained throughout the life of the transaction, so if you initially fund 50/50 or 70/30 or whatever, you stick with that.The caveat is that in order to avoid any kind of "indirect" benefit, neither party should be enabled to participate in the transaction due to the presence of the disqualified funds.  

Art director for a tech startup by day but am looking to get started in REI by transitioning my current property into a rental.

I don't care aboutthe color so much as the fact that the paint is all over the ceiling, chair rail, baseboard, and flooring.

Yes, I have been practicing and first chairing my own cases since I was admitted to the bar back in 2014.

All I can say is I'm glad I spent the extra bucks on my office chair. 

Her hand is fine....A piece of crap colleague claimed he hurt his back trying to sit down in his chair because someone lowered it...funny thing is he never said anything to anyone and has had back pain ever day for YEARS prior to this, get's up and complains about back pain and does stretches daily for years in front of everyone...then claims his back pain is as a result of someone lowering his chair.
