. $500 may be reasonable for a pro in your market, but it's completely unnecessary.

But the skeptic in me says this is almost the first time (that I can recall) a liberal state and cities (LA, SF etc) would revert to a conservative economic approach (supply side economics) to fix a problem vs a rent control or government controlled type solution.If this is the case and they really ARE allowing an increase in supply to help drive down over all cost vs attempting to impose government oversight I would sell everything and leave SoCal.

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. 

not 2 months, no. usually a letter will let you get in for underwriting/ qualifying, and a 2-week pay stub required before closing. every lender that does fannie/ freddie will use standard fannie/freddie guidelines, but a lot of them have "overlays", which are additional guidelines imposed by their investors. check with your preferred mortgage professional to find out how they will handle things for your speicific scenario. 

Agreed, after talking with a few folks looks like unnecessary risk to not record the deed. 

You'll have to separate out the numbers at tax time anyway and having to reconcile the various properties each month imposes a control that forces someone with check signing authority to evaluate - did we get our money on the winners and is what we owe on the losers properly substantiated. 

This seems like a good model, regardless of government-imposed limits.

I completely understand about not wanting to take unnecessary risks.

*The landlord can demonstrate that making accommodations for an ESA would impose undue financial burden or logistical burden.

- Thinking is: low 7 figure gross revenue from S Corp looks better than low six figure salary I pay myself, Using one of the units as S Corp office could unlock some tax benefits, Using the 4th as a short term rental (under the S-corp) could unlock even moreSo: Can I acquire property via S-Corp and is this a benefit or add unnecessary complexity because of the past-through structure of corp?
