I do work remotely from the home and was also wondering if I could write off the portion of where I use the space as a office on the same home as he’s claiming without causing any flags on the property address.

I reached out to the main office and heard back from a local outreach member from Rhode Island.

Hey Liz,As a loan officer who has completed more than 2,200 loans in Minnesota, I can assure you that attorneys are completely unnecessary, and expensive in Residential Real Estate in MN. 

Did you talk to the Sheriff's office!?" 

Basically they would become shareholder or officer in business until you have the experience documented. 

@Ronald RohdeYep, I would be adding the same thickness of slab and only extending the portion of the warehouse only, not any office etc. 

We are near a major college campus and a large naval base as well as the best school system in the state so it is a highly sought after area.How would you go about doing this?

If you made a complaint against the law office, I imagine they could be reprimanded or fined in some way.

So you're not really comparing apples to apples here.Also, most likely the syndication/crowdfunding deal you are comparing to is a completely different real-estate asset class than single family (i.e. probably multi-family,office, self storage,mobile home parks or something else).

@Srinath Gopinathan, I'm sure you can physically go to the assessor's office and get this information.
