Maybe your energies would be better directed towards finding alternative solutions to your problems rather than railing against situations you have no control over.

Ethanol was supposed to be an alternative to regular gas but it has since been shown to require more energy to produce than it saves.

There are a few great topics on LLCs here, to have one or not, umbrella policies, other alternatives.

Is there alternative financing that might come into play (realizing that in my case it would not make sense for me to pay too high an interest rate)?

Selling the property gives you the profit up front but Renting, as an alternative, can provide steady income over a longer period of time.

If you position them as warm prospects rather than as a waste of time, your chances of conversion go way up.Also, you may want to consider alternate exit strategies for yourself.

Not having seen it, I can also see where the IRS would be interested in fair market rents as to taxable gains or taxable amounts of benefits not being paid for, much like an employer providing housing and the employee not claiming that benefit, probably along the same lines.....And, there are different tax treatments for financed transactions, so there is another tax issue I can see.

You would receive similar treatment as an U.S.A.

The only exotic part is a stainless or bronze circulator.An alternative, which I had done but have since replaced as it was noisy and had lots of standby loss, is a small boiler that also heats the domestic hot water using a indirect WH as a zone.
