For those probate's that you've gathered research each file and check for PR's that reside outside of FL.

Hi All,We own a house in foster-Powell neighborhood of SE Portland Oregon since 2008 and this was our primary residence till 2016.

Also, Maryland requires that a Resident Agent be identified for legal service.

The original post IDed a quad (still a 1-4 family from a financing perspective) vs. single family residence (SFR), so not sure if that is important to you or not.

I read IRA pub 523 and my takeaway is that the I do not qualify for the primary residence exception (the '2 years living there in last 5 years' clause) because I didn't live there for 2 years total at any point.

A long-time resident at where I'm now living told me when a previous owner (that went bankrupt) started accepting HUD tenants, "that's when the drugs came in" (I wasn't living here then to be able to confirm this assertion, but I have no reason to doubt it).The same reaction happens in business ("street fighting" and "lifeboat ethics").

Our savings rate is high but we haven't bought a permanent residence yet.. 1. because our rent is so cheap 2. because we are weighing the options of purchasing a multi-family apartment or something similar 3. because we are a little bit scared of the process.Should we start by purchasing ourselves a home, live in it, fix it up and put it on the rental market or go ahead and start looking for a multi-family unit to purchase with the possibility of living in one of the units & using an FHA 203k loan? 

We put everything in a trust, which protects us, the seller, and our residents.

My question is, which would be better: opening an LLC for my primary residence and adding my wife as a member of the LLC OR doing a quitclaim deed and adding her on the deed? 

My sister lives in staten island, NY and getting ready to buy her 1st home as a primary residence.
