The plaintiff has added me personally to the lawsuit.

We are having the conversation right now around what to do with his commission he will receive when we close.

Is that for your entire personal tax return with the properties included? 

This is what happened when I saw her in person. 

I think it also cuts down on junk mail and junk text messages. :-) And it does give some structure for separating investing from personal.

I often do site visits to the property and then design/draw the hvac/plumbing systems for the building.From what I gather below the following would all fall under "real property trades":"The statute lists 11 types of real property trades or businesses: real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation, "I believe that my line of work can be classified under "real property development", "construction", "conversion".

I looking for any personal experinaces you are willing to share with me the good and the bad not wanting to look at this investment through rose colored glasses.
