It sounds like a decent deal.  

I was wanting to lump all the money together and buy one investment property, but it sounds like it may be complicated or impossible to keep track of who owns what percent of everything if it's all mixed together.  

Example:If you use ANY on-line dispute systems, you effectively relinquish the right to request verification of a disputed item and to request to be notified if any items removed from your credit report are re-inserted.

I am wondering if the season being August and before school starting days has any effect on not having enough showing or is it actually the price being too high?

Some possibilities MAY be redirecting water away from the structures, or jacking the structures up and building a base underneath, but most likely the property is in a flood zone and these would not be effective solutions.  

Sounds like you learned a lot and still put some money in your pocket. 

That sounds like a pretty aggressive first deal.

However, by changing investment income to ordinary income, on would now owe social security and Medicare tax, at the combined rate of 15.3% (both sides), less deduction from income of one half of the tax, so effective rate of 12 - 13 %.  

As unpleasant as it may sound, I would suggest calling the Tax authority in KY and tell them what your doing and what you need to do.  

We can make it a total of 5% by paying the remainder.It may sound odd - but the thing is - i can simply not nominate an agent next time.
