Hey BP,Situation: Potential tenant applicant uses a person convicted of dealing cocaine (felony) and convicted of felony forgery with intent to defraud as a character reference.

I felt that his character and my past deal experience with him were the reasons why he would become my mentor/sponsor for my licensing.

@Owen ThorntonAt 16 you may want to start with some character building books like “7 Habits of successful people” and “The little Prince” and for the same reason i would stay away for a few years from “The Prince”, “The art of war” and “The art of the deal” On a lighter vain, I just turned 60 and as teenager I read novels with very valuable business lessons :HotelWheels Rich Man, Poor ManThe GodfatherI would love to hear about more modern novels with business lessons.

It would be best to use photos with a resolution of 640 X 480 pixels.

These were character building years and experiences I wouldn’t trade for anything. 

Has anyone else noticed the eerie silence over the last couple of weeks from a lot of the usual cast of chest thumping, self promoting guru wannabe characters that BP has usually been bustling with over the last couple of years? 

Unless you filed Form 8832 or Form 2553 to elect C or S Corp status for the SMLLC, it is taxed as a disregarded entity.You don't have a corporation for tax purposes.Generally, gain or loss is recognized on sale or disposal of the assets (as Michael already noted), the character of which may be capital or 1231 for rentals.Putting money into or taking money out of the SMLLC's bank accounts is not a taxable transaction.If you are uncomfortable with these dynamics you may want to work with a professional.

North Bed Stuy is a safe walk, but in newly gentrified areas you always have 1 good road next to 1 bad one and a lot of characters. 

If you have bad credit - but did pay back what was owed - then that speaks to character and shows that you are a responsible person.

I have seen the one character trait that separates the winners from those who never get started is- drive!
