We'd help interview surveyors, land planners, civil engineers, help with the due diligence and plot plans, and the marketing package as well.

@Steven BarrMy question is have these other litigators given you advice?

We'll have to settle for a civil discussion this time.#2 - losses are only unlocked from the property(-ies) sold in the current year.

If you haven't already, get a lawyer as it is generally a bad idea to be a pro-se litigant. 

If you are not familiar with all of the pre-requisites prior to building permit issuance, I would recommend you first speak with a civil engineer who can create a checklist of approvals.

Point being you could clearly get a different  outcome on an in-house coverage decision vs. a claim that ended up being litigated.

The police will tell you it is civil matter. 

You can do what every you want with a single member LLC, just basically means any competent attorney would easily "pierce the corporate veil" of the LLC in case of litigation.  

Its frowned upon because in many states, we 1099 the borrower after the property sells and if we don't list the property, and don't expose the property to the largest potential buyer market, we can expose ourselves to litigation for artificially suppressing the sales price.

Go figure.We objected to our insurance companies offer to settle for short money as inadequately protecting my interests in terms of rising rates and having to report an adverse civil judgement.
