@Maria JeanetteTax Advantages: Income and gains grow tax-deferred (or tax-free if using a Roth SDIRA).All Costs Through the IRA: Expenses (repairs, taxes, etc.) must be paid from the IRA, so ensure it’s well-funded.You might also want to consult a CPA or attorney experienced with SDIRAs to ensure compliance with IRS rules and maximize benefits.Best of luck!

Alpine Title for closing, attorney for the Restaurant lease, and Pentuckett Bank for the refinance.

If you connect with a good real estate attorney, s/he will certainly have a strong lease for you to use.

An attorney said it would be expensive to be right so the developer built a single story home with the highest ceilings possible. 

John (KTS) for help, KTS is a bit bigger and each case gets assigned an attorney. 

I’m no attorney or CPA, so I won’t wade into legal or tax advice, but I’ve watched a well-timed 1031 turn a humble starter property into a stepping stone toward a whole portfolio.

I just attended a webinar and the attorney made it very clear that it would.

I have read many times that if you notify someone and they don't do anything then they own the blame because they knew of the risk and chose not to correct it.Your correct if a healthy tree or limb falls on your property then you have to fix the damage yourself.Consult an attorney and your insurance company to confirm.

they will lose a ton of interest on 5.5% loan if we refi with someone else, but it would likely be 7% so its a lose-lose, they will lose our business and it could be in their favor to just drop the abusive term, ridiculous that a conventional loan doesn't let you keep the place after moving out. never saw that coming and this type of "pulling a fast one" is exactly why the other buyer who couldn't be present on closing specified that the power of attorney for signing closing documents was limited to exclude anything unnecessary. 

That said, there is a lot more to learn here, I am not an attorney, you will need to learn more of this stuff too!
