:D Perhaps in a couple years, if you work really hard, your chance of getting audited will be as high as mine.Btw, here's what Bill Bronchick says about a corporation vs an LLC:http://legalwiz.com/llcs-and-corporations/He says the exact same thing that I said above...here's his words:"If you form an LLC and elect to be taxed as a corporation, be sure to complete the regular formalities that a corporation would normally do, such as resolutions, minutes of meetings, etc."

Toni, Z-estimate sometimes a way off. so I just use it as reference. in my area the valuation is strange, I only use the regular sale as the comparable.

IMO, this could be great for a nice vacation/weekend home, but all I have ever done are regular rentals.

It's been a while since I was a real cigar aficionado, but I do enjoy a nice "stogie" or pipe every now and then, especially in the summertime while sitting outside on our patio enjoying the warm evening air (possibly augmented with our fire pit) and basking in the peaceful tranquil atmosphere with a nice glass of scotch, rum, or even beer.I've always been partial to Arturo Fuentes, especially the Chateaus in both regular and double varieties, Ashton's, and even Macanudo's, which have a light easy smoke and come in as many shapes and sizes as one would find at Huntington Beach, CA on a sunny July day.

A short sale is a distressed sale- The homeowner wouldn't be selling if not under some pressure whether by being underwater or not being able to afford the mortgage- how you buy a distressed sale is irrevelant to the comps.An appraiser down the line only cares that it was a regular sale, foreclosure or short sale- how you paid for it doesn't matter in his evaluation of the property and past sale.

Nothing like a regular shingle removal lol...

I still have my professional business cards for regular daily use but c'mon we all know that most of the people at a sell-a-thon reia aren't ever going to do anything with your card.

Next is to get inspector thru and approved and get a partion wall on one end of the two bedrooms down there, complete with the closet and the regular doors for each.My experience using ANY fiberglass insulation has never been good,,,it acts like an air filter and then turns stinky.I have found code is one thing,,,long lasting operational function is most important.

In my experience, I've met regulars who look up leads on a regular basis for themselves or companies and have found a few of them who would be willing to send me lists since they do it regularly anyway.

I just need proof of funding so i look good for the short sale lender but I cant get proof through a regular lender. plus having a hard money lender is aslo like having cash,right?
