It's a simple way to gauge the condition of the building's main sewer line.Unfortunately fraudulent rental applications are more common than one would think so good on you for catching that.

There are two main types of Reg D 5-6 filings.  

If you look at what they have avaliiable on the website its mainly desert lots.

I have a tenant in Maine who refused to leave after her lease expired, and multiple notices were given saying she needed to leave after it expired. 

The main reason is that it is not initially set up for a Real Estate business like other “real estate-specific” accounting software.

If you are NOT running a trade or business - 1099s are not required.The main reason why you WANT to be "running a rental trade or business" is your eligibility to claim business overhead deductions, such as marketing, education, technology, and so on.

This is one of the main reasons that HUD deals fail to close.  

I would like to pass on a little bit of useful information for anybody thinking of converting their permit over to owner-builder. 1 - You will not be able to sell the property for a minimum of 365 days from the date of issuing of the CO. 2 - The property must be for the owner's own use and occupancy and not for sale or lease which means you will not be able to rent it out. 3 - The owner-builder must ensure that all employees working on the project have the required licenses.4 - The owner-builder must provide worker's compensation as required by Florida law.5 - To apply for the owner builder permit, you must physical visit the building department.There are others requirements and conditions, however these are the main items.

IDEALLY, we would like to find a property that has or is capable of being converted into a “mother in law”, “ADU”, “Casita”, or any other separate living quarters in which we could rent out the main portion to a tenant (short term or long term) and then use the separate space as our own for when we come and go with business.

I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.
