I don't see this as a guaranteed red flag, as in if you claim it for this year it could trigger an audit about why you didn't last year.

Being an accidental injury person and running your own company and choosing not to pay yourself can hurt you with acquiring from Social Security even if you have filed tax returns but chose not to pay yourself in the prior six months you might get turned down and not collect from your injury no matter if you paid before that.Good luck to you!

Know what criteria you are looking for and pull the trigger when you find it.

I've only begun to investigate seller financing but not sure if I'm ready to pull the trigger yet. 

There are plenty of things I would have done different on this deal, but I am so glad I pulled the trigger.

I got my home inspectors license for similar reasons -- I wanted to be able to pull the trigger on deals more quickly and to have more confidence that I was building a complete scope of work.  

If you perform work on any property (whether you own it, an LLC you own owns it, someone unrelated to you owns it) and your work causes injury, you can be liable no matter who owns the property.

@Phil Van Dyke - I'm hoping that in the past two months that you have decided to pull the trigger on at least one of these houses.  

If your numbers are right, I would pull the trigger immediately.

I'm very scared to pull the trigger on this (it would be my second property) because of the condition of the house.
