Can one file a Series LLC by oneself or definitely have to get an attorney to do it?  

@Ryan BirdIf you write a check to yourself instead, won’t you have to recognize in your income tax the interest that the LLC paid to you, and then deduct the interest on as investment expense?

You are also allowed to fully deduct the cost of meals in situation where the employer has employees and needs to have them continue on a job and so for the convenience of the employer provides a meal that allows the employees to remain on the job.The IRS recognizes that there has been a lot of abuse when deducting meals and many years ago limited most meal deductions to 50% of the cost of meals and entertainment.Hopefully this helps.

It appears you recognize this.

You need a number as a guidepost as to what a good investment is, so you will recognize it when you see it

I like the area personally and also recognize it as a great place for an investment.

I spoke with an attorney yesterday that didn't recognized the term "subject to the existing financing" and I am not confident in her advice. 

@mirianhuish I recognize that black and white photo, you must be with Chase International.

That being said, real estate is local and if you can truly recognize an under valued deal then have at it.We didn't create an LLC until our 7th property.

@Mark Cruse thanks for speaking up for us newbies, I thought I recognized Peter's negativity from a previous post I made here.
