I have seen this in a couple units I have rented in Seattle.Does anyone know a good structural engineer/architect in Seattle who can design an affordable attic and basement remodel for an older home?

I studied Fashion Design.

Without design calcs from mechanical engineer or an hvac company I would not honor his request without proof. 

As such, UBIT would not likely apply.On the other hand, if you were using an IRA to invest in non-performing notes where a key strategy was to foreclose and then resell the house, and that was the primary enterprise conducted on a regular basis, then UBIT could apply.The principal behind UBIT is that it is a tax designed to level the playing field for tax-paying businesses when tax exempt entities are directly competing with those businesses by engaging in commercial activities in a similar fashion as normal businesses in the field.  

I was concentrating my search in Long Beach and Inglewood, but the low supply is pushing my boundaries out towards Riverside/San Bernardino.

Wondering what your thoughts would be regarding a Virtual Project Management service to serve investors regarding: Estimating, Takeoffs, Permitting, Interior/Exterior Design Plans, Project Coordinating, Time Management, Receipt tracking, Light Bookkeeping( Payroll Included ), Communication, Daily photo sharing, Real-time Job progress tracking, Projected profits, Photo book creation, and overall daily tasks that can be done from a phone/mobile device or computer...Pretty much a complete Virtual Project Management Admin office...My Question: Any additional suggestions or topics that would be beneficial to your needs in which a virtual service could accommodate?

I'm willing to sacrifice profit for lower risk, especially on my first (hopefully not last) one.Should I give up on SFR's and concentrate on multis?

It depends on your level of comfort with your design. 

Personally I'd concentrate on monthly rent multiple, and it doesn't get better than 7x.Q2 - You could collect multiple application fees and process the whole lot, and then run a beauty contest.

Now I have learned my limits and will direct the homeless young family to the social services designed to help them.Social change is a very broad statement, as Bill Gulley !
