We don't have one piece of furniture with the exception of office furniture and beds, but no headboards, no dressers and no couches.I am 71-years old and never purchased a new vehicle with the exception of a new Mercedes SUV I purchased my wife about 7 years ago and the vehicle does not have 2,000 miles on it because my wife loves a 2003 Ford cargo van she drives every day because she put 3 custom-made dog beds in the van and doesn't have to worry about her dogs messing up her Mercedes.

No different than the envirotest debacle of taxpayers paying millions of dollars a year who own automatically compliant automobiles that basically can't violate clean air rules to pay for the ability to police a tiny percentage of vehicles that could, might or do violate the clean air rules. 

HI Amod,You can use:- HELOC or home equity lines of credit or commercial lines of credit to access the equity- you could cash out refinance with 30 year fixed notes, currently in the mid 7's (roughly 700 for every 100k borrowed per month)If you're already netting 200 cashflow a month, you may want to limit your access to this equity or consider that the use of this debt vehicle will cause your current property to probably go negative in terms of cashflow, if tapped.

A couple friends and I are looking at co-buying a residential (non-investment) property in California and we're attempting to engineer a vehicle that would allow us to receive the best mortgage terms possible (a la avoiding a commercial loan), preserve the section 121 capital gains exclusion while also realizing the benefits and protections that come with an LLC.Is it possible to have each owner, that's planning to occupy the property as a primary or secondary residence, establish a single member LLC in a way that gives us the best lending terms while maintaining the flexibility to have individuals sell their ownership interest (via the SMLLC) to someone else without triggering due on sale?

You also need to know what is the required parking per unit, required set backs, are curb/gutter/sidewalks required and if so, what is the width, etc, what is requuired for driveways, do you need enough for a turnaround for emergency vehicles, how much in the way of landscaping areas, are there any easements that affect the property, and any other local building regulations that affect the density allowed.

Just my opinion, so please take this with a grain of salt:  I'm not a fan at all of 401k's and real estate is my far preferred vehicle.

The law says it has to be your "primary place of return" as proven by your driver's license and at least one other form of documentation (voter registration, vehicle registration, etc.).

Right now the S-Corp is the new tax saving vehicle.
