Quote from @Michael Wentzel: Talk to your agent to ensure they're OK with it.

@John Paul, it's time to graduate from "old school" and start living in the 21st century for your own benefit.

We have owned 14 SF rentals and 4 apartment complexes totaling near 1,000 units, and over 17 year period we have been sued exactly once.We had a 350lb resident that missed the bottom step of the staircase, fell and hurt himself. 

Like what Joshua said, purchase price, closing cost, and agent fees are capitalized.

I work at my brothers business as a independent contractor ,  he has an accountant for this business is necessary for him to to this job or i can do it myself.

I've been an independent broker for 38 years now, and I've always represented myself in real estate transactions - even for out of state transactions where I won't be paid.

I believe all of the remaining clients following me to my independent company shows that the bulk of the value of the company that I shared with her, was based on my contributions.

Given your extensive reviews and strong opinions about so many land investing courses, would you be willing to verify your identity as an independent investor?

I'm obviously and pretty rightly eby the ROW agents approach.
