An interesting tidbit is the publications and instructions from the IRS are not the tax code, these are writings on how the IRS would prefer you interpret the tax code.

You know you have more choices, different ways to attack a problem or solve some matter, you can also make things more complicated than they need to be.Such aspects are not as dangerous at the individual or small business level either, but it's more to your perception and what you might do and having a better education will open you eyes to things others may not see or understand.Does an MBA = $$$$$$$, no, not really, it opens the door wider, it opens some doors that are otherwise shut, but there is no guarantee that any degree will provide you with a better income.......a better quality of life....yes.

And, the point I don't think you appreciate, in many areas the home with the added green features do not add a dime to resale or new home value perception.  

It does not mean that you have to go through the process of taking your company public, but you do have to comply with the securities laws in place that allow you to qualify for an exemption to taking your company public. 

That seems to be the case if I look at the IRS publication stating "Under §1.263(a)-1(f)(1)(ii)(D), a taxpayer without an AFS may elect to apply the de minimis safe harbor if,among other things, the amount paid for the property subject to the de minimis safe harbor does not exceed $500 per invoice (or per item as substantiated by the invoice) or other amount as identified in published guidance issued by the Treasury Department and the IRS." 

@Wayne SmithI would supplement the Smart Move search with a quick glance at the Harris County Clerk site here to check for evictions in civil cases and any criminal cases, assuming your tenants have always lived locally. http://www.hcdistrictclerk.com/Edocs/Public/search...

I've done public auctions successfully and I'm trying to figure out sheriff's sales.

If you want to target the general public, like 100 times more prospects, then the higher price with repairs made, since repairs will likely be required to close financing.

They check and deal with Title issues for the property, and public liens against the property/owner, not a borrower's background/credit issues for obtaining a loan.

There are probate, pre-foreclosure and divorce information available to the public.
