@Yissell Torres I just listened to podcast #289 with Matt Fairchild and he talked about raising capital from private parties and what constitutes a "security" and what doesn't.

Hello my name is Matt, I live in Los Angeles.

@Matt Lefebvre thank you for your response and I’m leaning towards the 3 family but it’s more of a mental hurdle right now to adjust to 2 attached tenants instead of just 1.

Matt- Thank you for the feedback.

If that is indeed what happened, that's just the first potential error and they're going to continue compounding one upon the other.Do as you wish, but as @Matt Ward and I both suggested, you should get professional help with your taxes.Best of luck.

@Mack Owens you got the perfect answer from @Matt Castle .
