In Feb. 2016, we paid a foundation company $6000 to level the home.

Tax property laws and processes vary by state and even down to the county and city level for how they assess.

There is different levels of work and the homeowner can do certain things. 

I think a lot of it comes down to the level of rehab you are already doing to the house, the flow as is, plumbing to tie into, how big is the kitchen,  what you would be having to move and relocate besides the kitchen to make it work.

@Teri S.A friend of mine bought it at auction for $7500 and gutted the whole thing jacked it up and leveled it out and put a whole new floor system in the downstairs and upstairs.

If you can't trust your lender, you shouldn't be working with them.

Now, finally interest rates are beginning to reach a moderate level, rents have topped off, and purchase prices are above the realm of "bargain". 

Account Closed i don't trust anything when it comes to sellers and brokers.you need to verify as much as you can. with rent roll, you want to make sure that you know what rents are currently paid, not just Physical occupancy But also Economic occupancy - that means tenants that actually paying rents. you can verify these by asking for bank statements, and schedule 1from the TAX Return. 

A land trust may still be useful to you for providing anonymity in the future, but you're definitely going to want to speak to an attorney who is familiar with your situation and these legal tools.

The LLC is nothing but a vehicle for the owner to control his or her property.The assessor does not have an owner address (it's just the property address) and the property level knows nothing.
