Since Portland is such a tenant friendly city, I’m wondering if there is a loop hole or if I can choose the occupied unit to move into in an effort to rent the other at market value?

We are going to be buying property and building a spec home shortly and need to understand the pros and cons of doing this deal through an LLC vs. as individuals, from a tax perspective.

I am purchasing a property in Ohio and since I am unrepresented by an agent I am debating having the listing agent represent me as well.What do you think are the pros and cons of purchasing a property with dual agency? 

@Benjamin M Racicot always have an item of value to give out (with your information on it), but do not ask if they’d like to receive it.

I have an apartment that is set up as a 55+ complex historically but there is no deed restriction requiring it to be maintained as a 55+ complex. 

With an Operating Agreement, separate bank account, etc.? 

I would be very careful with a broker that "rigs" an insurance contract.

Hi Matt,As long as the leases are active, have been active and can verify proof of rent payment, it should not be an issue.

I recommend getting an attorney and knowing the process well in case of a bad tenant. 

So registering as an 'alien resident' is definitely something that we will be doing.
