Seems like there is very little oversight and question if all of your assets were sold how your shareholders would make out.Our appraisals are made by licensed professionals, along with our third-party valuations and third-party auditors.

The risk is high that they will be recategorized by the IRS upon audit or examination, which means that you've overcontributed to a retirement plan. 

I do not see how any auditor could say that if I spent  Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday sightseeing ,on my own dime of course, that the trip was Primarily personal.   

Then auditors.  

In fact, the IRS auditor granted a refund (based on other issues) that was quite large.

From IRS audit experience, think of it this way:If the auditor views the hours as “unnecessary” OR over the top that had no bearing on the successful operation, they will disallow.Real world example: You live in Colorado and have a STR in Arizona.

Then I've got those put into an excel sheet where I'm just collecting basic info on ownership, size, county records etc, and through tools like the county auditor or white pages or even linked in if its a major real estate company can help you get ahold of a stake holder there. 

I actually work as an auditor for a CPA firm down here in Norfolk, VA, but none of our tax staff specialize in real estate.I have a question for you regarding capital gains tax when owner financing. 

I looked at Portage county (rural county just east of stow) and they call it the county auditor.
