Do I misunderstand the concept entirely?

Unless I'm misunderstanding what the plan is.French drains are normally installed on the exterior side of a wall (the side that's retaining soil). 

@Audrey Y. you misunderstand, I am retired military I have lived in and traveled to many countries for both work and pleasure.  

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. 

Just make sure all transactions are clear and keep them in the loop to avoid misunderstandings, Working with your family its great, but all transactions and deals have to be treated as business, I am also just starting, got the LLC going and everything.

The idea of getting a tape is clouded by folks misunderstanding how to find a deal.  

I understand this isn't the official law's verbiage (It actually says, "No later than 21 calendar days after the tenant has vacated the premises" - Link to CA Civil Code) Are we misunderstanding the language here?

@Fred F.While you can joint venture between a self-directed IRA and a Solo 401k, I don't think you would need to do so, and it sounds as if you may be mis-understanding the Solo 401k.If you are self-employed and have no full time employees, there may be advantages to a Solo 401k.  

I am sorry if my words led to a misunderstanding.

So you would be looking at approximately $600 per year in additional cost over what she SHOULD already have now(Insurance on each property)-Steven@Steven Hamilton IIMaybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying (I'm no insurance expert), but here's the way I see it from what I know to be true in my area:1) If the insurance policy for a property owned in one's own name here is $500/year, it will become roughly $900/year once you transfer the property into an entity.2) I've been told you cannot put one umbrella over multiple LLCs because they are considered separate owners.
