Just as it is here on BP or public forums, you get some good advice and you can get some very bad advice, you have to know the difference.All the hogs get fed at the trough but the fattest hog knows how to get to the feed bin and keeps that a secret.

I have submitted a plat review to divide into 2 tax lots, which should be finalized tomorrow, at the expiration of the public review.  

It reduces a lot of administrative work. 

Also if you are a bookworm, check out the list of BP's 21 Best Real Estate Books, and start checking them off.Philadelphia also has some very useful online tools to access public records.

2015 LOW INCOME HOUSING APARTMENT CAPITALIZATION RATE: 10.0% The Appraisal District is giving public notice of the capitalization rate to be used each year to appraise property receiving an exemption under Section 11.1825 of the Property Tax Code for Organizations Constructing or Rehabilitating Low-Income Housing: Property Not Previously Exempt.

@Darren Sager likes to buy properties near train tracks for easy access to public transportation and I agree.

The rules that you cited seem to corroborate my thoughts: "(A) A non-lawyer shall not furnish to another for compensation, direct or indirect, advice or service under circumstances which require his use of legal knowledge or skill in the application of any law, federal, state or local, dealing with taxes, except:(2) A certified public accountant or a person duly enrolled may practice before the Internal Revenue Service, as those terms are defined by the then applicable federal regulations and the extent permitted therein.(4) A non-lawyer may render such advice or service incident to an engagement to provide products or services which he is otherwise authorized to provide, where such advice or service arises out of the providing of such other products or services and was not the principal purpose of the engagement."

It reduces expense and build relationships with the tenants.

You still need to behave with care.The structure does help you appear more professional and comes with some significant tax benefits - so it is worth while.Once your personal name is in public records as owner of a property, it will always be public.

Very close to town (walk to shopping, public transportation ect.) and in a nice area in California.I was thinking we could work with one "Green" manufactured home company that we choose with different models and get a kick back for each home sold.
