While I have nothing to hide, I simply don't like having a photo of myself on forums or anywhere for that matter.This is just a personal preference of mine and is something that I hope the content of my posts would offset, but I also understand that some like to see who they are talking to or reading about.At the end of the day, I'd post a real photo if required to do so, but it's a rule that can't be verified since a poster can simply post a photo of Joe Blow they find on the net so why not leave people to decide for themselves?

I haven't yet seen the property - still trying to figure out the numbers and how to make it work, but I am planning on viewing some properties soon.I know about the 50% rule, and even so, the numbers still make sense for our goals.Have I left anything out?

It may have something to do with that rule that I heard about from the Dallas MLS not allowing sites to show sold price.

Anyone that has dug into tax much realizes that the rules and regulations are only a small part of the law.

NOTE: People, you need to read the terms of service which inlcudes the forum rules.

From a licensing point of view you will need two licenses, the MLO and a consumer lending license for the company.The exception to that rule is if you are financing a home that you actually lived in for two years or more and it was your declared primary residence on your income tax forms.Even with the licenses go a plethora of compliance issues from Red Flag to Debt Collection practices, and everything in between.

So far that appears to only be an option if it is my personal residence.Right now, the property barely breaks even or is slightly negative (using 50% rule)in cash flow until the credit card debt is reduced over time.

The name C Corporation is used only to distinguish one taxable entity from another taxable entity (there is no Subchapter C, which governs how a C Corporation is taxed.)Because the "S" simply refers to a section of the tax code, choosing to tax an LLC as an S Corporation affect ONLY the rules used to tax the LLC - NOT the rules to form or operate an LLC, nor the rules that determine the liability of the owners of an LLC.LEGAL REQUIREMENTS & LIABILITYLegal Requirements:The rules to form and operate a Corporation are different from the rules to form and operate an LLC.

45K as per 2% rule

My agent says that the seller paid the same identical fee 1.2k to escrow as I did.
