The research you do in your downtime may have conflicting opinions on if it qualifies or not, but I would think most everyone would agree that the work you're doing specifically for your employer does not count.

Does it have to be created in specific states to remain anonymous?

Hi @Paul Pratt I ran into a similar situation previously and I don't know a specific company but you can start by researching the following.

I ask because there are approved foundations plans that call out specific requirements (like strapping) and may qualify it as a permanent home.

If you were from a specific country that is on a watch list, then expect more of the same.I invest in the USA and UK.

We are looking to do this versus a home office deduction, which we probably wouldn’t qualify for anyway (would fail the exclusive clause).I’m sure this question has been covered before in the forums, but I can’t seem to locate a specific thread on this topic.

Buyers will be required to sign a buyer agreement prior to showings, many states operate this way already, and it can be specific to a period of time, specific property or range of shopping options the broker is to assist with. - Buyer broker commissions will be more transparent and in all likelihood begin to trend downwards.

It is landlord-friendly, and specific pockets have gone upwards of 2-4x in the last 5-10 years.

My questions are around how to evaluate if its a safe/stable investment alternative?
