Is there any legal/accounting interpretation/loophole which would allow for that sale to be considered a "capital gain" so that I can utilize my stock losses as an offset?

Many months ago I sent questions to my state's AG office and I am happy with the state (NC that is) Commissioner of Banks providing the interpretation.

I was aware of what you outlined and that there was guidance after it that clarified the interpretation, but I wanted to be sure nothing changed after 2019.https://www.biggerpockets.com/... 

I'm looking at other readers here who could interpret it in such a way, though.

Assuming the source website is legit, the tax law can be interpreted that if you only own a few properties and it's in your name (or an LLC and you and/or your spouse are the sole member) then you do not operate a trade or business and are not required to issue a 1099 regardless of >< $600.http://landlordsolutionsinc.com/2013/12/does-your-handyman-need-to-fill-out-a-1099/However, I did read on this BiggerPockets post: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/87325-issue-w9-for-work--600... that it's generally a good idea, good practice.

The proposed HUD Rules interpreting the federal SAFE mortgage act can be viewed at www.regulations.gov Use the search parameter "HUD" and the keyword "safe".

Sorry that you were disappointed in your interpretation.

But as I read the highlighted sections above, I'm seeing two different interpretations; 1) anyone that has a right to the property and was not notified [33.54(b)] is not bound by ANY limitations period, 2) anyone that falls into the first interpretation actually has a 2 year limitation [34.08(c)].

I will forewarn you they are written in a lot of legal language, so it can be difficult to interpret. 

.: This honestly seems like an awful way to be a host.Your guest has problems so you say 'well here's the door buddy, if you leave, i'll refund you for the nights you don't stay, otherwise, shut up and deal with the problems and we wont pay you a dime'No, it doesn't say that.....it says exactly what it says, not what you want to interpret.
