This seemed to be the recommended approach when starting out.The anticipation of growing bigger and having multiple LLC entities lends itself to another recommendation to use a Nevada holding LLC as the single member of the Tennessee LLCs so all taxes and income will flow through the single Nevada entity (one federal tax return this way rather than a federal tax return for each entity) as well as the legal charging order benefits of the Nevada LLC.

While property tax liens are typically in first position with mortgages after that; Federal liens, when they apply, take precedence over ALL other liens.Hope that helps!

I would speak to a bank that does FHA loans and discuss the PMI and the fact tha you Bankrupcy is over 2 years old:Get an FHA loan – Federal Housing Administration (FHA) home loans enable home buyers to get a home with less than 3.5% down.

If our backwards federal government would stop fear mongering over carbon tax credits (BC, Québec, and soon Ontario already participate in a market with California) and show some leadership, I'd be "dumb grin" smiling.
