Vote Bruce Norris for HUD Secretary!

B of the article states:"...any plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans; and"Here is what 4975(e)(1) states:(e)Definitions(1)PlanFor purposes of this section, the term “plan” means—(A)a trust described in section 401(a) which forms a part of a plan, or a plan described in section 403(a), which trust or plan is exempt from tax under section 501(a),(B)an individual retirement account described in section 408(a),(C)an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b),(D)an Archer MSA described in section 220(d),(E)a health savings account described in section 223(d),(F)a Coverdell education savings account described in section 530, or(G)a trust, plan, account, or annuity which, at any time, has been determined by the Secretary to be described in any preceding subparagraph of this paragraph.I am sure there is far more to it than my trivial analysis, but it would be good for everyone to learn if someone could connect the legal dots here.  

Specifically, section 5107 of the SAFE Act, entitled “Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Backup Authority to Establish a Loan Originator Licensing System†provides that after the time periods for compliance allowed by the statute, if the “Secretary determines that a State does not have in place by law or regulation a system for licensing and registering loan originators that meets the requirements of sections 5104 and 5105 and subsection (d) of [section 5107], or does not participate in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, the Secretary shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a system for the licensing and registration by the Secretary of loan originators operating in such State as State-licensed loan originators.†HUD’s review of state compliance is limited to sections 5104, 5105 and 5107(d).

Right now I have my secretary hand addressing envelops, return address is a label with my name/address (no mention of a business).

I only worked for two companies during that time so that allowed me to cross-train in all the different departments such as Searching, Customer Service, Policy and Prelim typist, Escrow Secretary, Receptionist and Title Secretary in the first company.Then I was recruited by a Sales Rep who opened his own company to set up his Word Processing Department where we used Display Writers (that should give you an idea of how long ago that was!)

I own an S-Corp and I am owner, president, secretary, director etc.

A Home Improvement Contractor registration is required for everything else --- when  you are working on somebody else's property for money.Quite honestly, in my view anything beyond secretarial/administrative oversight of a property tends to require some sort of licensure/registration. 

Maybe I need to work past the secretary answering the calls and connect with one of the agents instead.Perhaps with listsource you need to change your criteria completely.

Just as a corporation or LLC owning real estate requires those people empowered to sign as President, Secretary, or Managing Director, etc., a trustee (or successor trustee) must be able to provide the buyer or lender sufficient paperwork which "connects the dots" and proves they have such powers.

If they are, check your states Secretary of State corporation look up, manytimes in their filings you will find their phone numbers.P.S.S.
