Additionally, because of the general theme of uncertainty in this area there is no guarantee of consistency among Government auditors, some might challenge your call and others might not.When I look at what is being done in your case, my greatest concern is that while the activity is only part time and you are not actively holding your self out to the public as conducting these activities, the activities are being performed with a certain degree of regularity and frequency that might make it difficult to rebut an auditor's challenge that you are actively conducting a trade or business.

Hi Brian, I'd say give them a call, and while you are speaking with them, find out which type of appraisal they conduct for HELOC's.

I am conducting my first wholesale deal.

Tucson appears to have a similar ordinance for "unruly gatherings" which allows them to issue fines and actually red tag the property itself: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/police/redtag.In light of that, it might be worth considering to add a clause to your lease that says any municipal fine you receive as result of the tenant's unruly or illegal conduct will be the responsibility of the tenant to pay. 

Yes, an agent will be able to conduct a comparative market analysis for your prospective property.

If this is to be your forever house, you may want to look at fibreglass framed windows as they provide a better thermal barrier and resist deformation a lot longer than vinyl ... the trade off is they are rather more expensive and the most experience manufactures {of whom I am aware} are located in Canada or Europe ... though I'm sure there must be manufacturers in the U.S.A.Another general guideline is to use as many fixed windows as possible ... they are cheaper and more energy efficient.Where an operable window is required, casement/awning/hopper windows are far more energy efficient than single or double hung and sliders are at the bottom of the heap.If you take your plans and lot orientation to a fenestration specialist, they will conduct a solar profile of the property and can recommend window and door configurations for each face.  

We auction our properties "on the front lawn" and not at a court house or sheriffs office.We have no knowledge of the properties that we are conducting the auction on, but the attorney's who give us the assignments specifically tell us if it is a second mortgage.

Pines’ license to practice law, branding him “a substantial threat of harm to the public†because of his advice to foreclosure victims to break in and retake their homes.Pines, whose law offices in Carlsbad were closed earlier this year, argues that most of the foreclosures and evictions of homeowners are conducted illegally because the banks and investment firms who claim ownership of distressed properties don’t have clear title to them.The decision by State Bar Court Judge Richard Honn is a temporary measure, pending a hearing on disciplinary charges against Pines, the bar said in a statement.A defiant Pines vowed to continue fighting the actions of big banks and investment groups putting homeowners out on the street, as well as state bar officials, whom he accuses of acting on behalf of the prominent law firms representing the banks -- and paying massive dues to the 232,000-member state lawyers’ association.“It means absolutely nothing,†Pines, 59, said of the bar court ruling. “I will go right on doing what I have always done and it won't effect me at all, or my clients.â€The bar court, which operates independently of the state court system in handling internal legal matters, called Pines to a hearing on April 12, where he was accused of violating laws and ethical standards in advising clients to take the law into their own hands.“Although Pines is a seasoned attorney, he seems to have lost his ability to distinguish between zealous advocacy and lawlessness,†Honn wrote in his 18-page ruling, adding that Pines’ “unwillingness or inability to obey court orders and follow the laws of this state has tarnished the reputation of other attorneys and the legal community as a whole.â€Chief Trial Counsel Jim Towery said he was gratified that the bar court agreed Pines posed an imminent threat and was likely to continue violating court orders unless his license was revoked.Deputy Trial Counsel Brooke Schafer said that in none of the cases in which Pines advised clients to reoccupy homes in Carlsbad, Newport Beach and Simi Valley did the former homeowners have a legal right to enter the premises.
