I don't know what statutes are on the books for federal officers but if I were a civil rights attorney and knew more about this, I'd spend some time talking with the guy about this case.

Rescission is where, even 2.5 years after the loan is made, the borrower simply pays back the principal only and all interest, points and other finance charges are refunded to borrower.There are conditions to rescind, ( whew, spelled that right) so you have to look those up, and there are other penalties too, for failing to provide the TILA disclosures.One interesting thing in the HUGE world of borrower litigation, many borrowers do not raise TILA claims as much any more, due to the fact they prefer to stay in State Courts (TILA being Federal) where the atmosphere may be more friendly to anti-lender litigation.

A civil engineer can run a feasibility study, but architects are generally pretty solid for smaller projects like what I think you're trying to do.  

We have had a divided country since before the Civil War but that should not keep us from coming to the table with an open mind to solve the enourmous chanllenges that face all of us.I have been dissapointed with the blatant misstatement of facts and outright lies that have replaced honest and open debate on the issues.Unless we are able to have open discussion of the issues and shine a light on the hidden ajendas of our politicians I fear that our government will continue to be ineffective.

Of course, you'd have to have a structural engineer, civil engineer, and an architect sign off on it.

If you read the IRS Pub section you referenced, note that the definitions of community property and community income state that it only applies to residents of the community property states.Many states that are not community property states have equitable distribution laws that apply in divorce proceedings, but those laws do not make the state a community property state.A local civil practice attorney in FL can clarify all this for you.

You could be totally fine 9/10 times, and the 10th time, lose a lot of money and end up tied up in litigation with your other assets on the line.

A tax attorney litigates on aspects of tax law, while a CPA specializing in tax prepares returns and acts as an advisor on the financial implications of transactions.

These structures helps to make you appear as a hard target and would be litigant moves down the road to the next easier target.
