that's a great idea, another to incorporate.

I know with my son's business it was not to his advantage to incorporate out of state when he was in CA.  

I'd like to have a few years of solid renting/landlording experience before I incorporate duplex renting. 

oddly enuf, i never seen them at Lowes, but at local Home Depots they have a whole area in each parking lot set up for them, with porta potties, chairs, tables, refreshments at all.so who uses them?

Buying units in low valued props in metro areas with a lot of out-of-area investor action is bound to be a game of musical chairs.  

They incorporate the different cost segments to the transaction such as lending costs, legal costs, title costs, etc.

Don't know if it will do any good but it's the best I can offer from my chair here in SC.

@Peace Van - Lease options sound quite interesting also, I will definitely look into the mechanics and see how I can incorporate them into my strategy.

I believe the actual W-9 is more important for verification when you Don't need to 1099 them, as in corporations, etc. but it's better CYA to get the form or everyone of course.

If some requested aspect is detrimental to general market demands the entire cost should be paid and, in addition, an amount necessary to bring that aspect back to market demands.For example, kitchen cabinets made to ADHA standards for a wheel chair won't be generally marketable.
