HUD guarantees a "clear title", but is the government that trustworthy?

Personally, I'd never own a property governed by an HOA.Keep the spending in check.

If it's registered elsewhere, it will need to be registered as a foreign entity in the state where it does business (additional paperwork and expenses).Your personal state income tax will be governed by the state where you live, regardless of where the LLC is established, registered or does business.

We will fair better than Japan no doubt about that due to our innovative culture.With respect to the unemployment data, no doubt there's a huge flaw with our government method of compiling the data.

I have searched all of the government sites in my area, but I am unable to find a public listing of code enforcement violations.

@Shelli Callan When you speak of language in listings and sales contracts, I hope you realize that Montana has a somewhat dated government/business environment.

It's really worth it to choose your settlement fee even if the seller is offering free title insurance to use their settlement company --- as they do with the auction sites.1200's are government taxes, recording fees, etc. 

You can lease out at higher rents but there is not assisted living,memory care etc. as that is highly regulated by the government. 

Is the value added through re-zoning, dividing the property into lots with the government, or adding a connection to water/sewer lines?

I like the self build model because in my region I wouldn't have to pay the 5% government sales tax when the home is eventually sold (personal house = no sales tax).
