If number of posts about there being a bubble is a contrarian indicator, then we should be just fine for now.

Retirement counts as 1099-    When I recently applied for loan for investment property , they wanted to see last years 1099, plus current RAS statement , and they were fine counting that as income .  

The bill is in my name and the expenses are charged out to the tenants based on sq footage of their unit so they are very in tuned to keeping their heat/electricity costs down.  

And in the end cost you money of course to the tune of whatever you spent converting it.You said you wanted to do this to try and increase interest in it.

If you're LLC is a disregarded entity then you can sell as the LLC but purchase as yourself which can help with financing and yet still keep the 1031 intact.An LLC filing it's own tax return can still do 1031s just fine.  

Should be fine for conventional since it's only cosmetic. 4) There are a lot of flat fee MLS companies that suck.

She said they built that into their business model but would be fine if I wanted to pay it all up front.  

If the employer wants to pay the rent that's fine, but you aren't going to add them to the lease.

There is not rent cap so one of the first criteria will be to charge more, which is not going to help the people that the city council says they are trying to help.Originally the mayor talked about a program that would reward landlords who kept there rents at a reasonable rate, I don't know if it would be a cut on property taxes or what since we don't have state taxes but I would have been fine with that but it never came to fruition?!

However in other counties, like Charles County where I live, that is perfectly fine to do so.
