Following Up + More details: @carolineOur utilities were also opened using an LLC but since the power had actually been shut off the problem mostly came from ICE sending someone out to turn it back on plus installing a new style meter (which had to be approved by our HOA but that was another matter entirely and not particularly difficult).Opening a bank account with BCR as an individual is easy and you can get an atm card in about 3 days but you will be limited to holding only a thousand dollars in it.

Unfortunately - my current lot for my primary is 1 acre and VERY sloped, and close to a water source (creek), so the county has not even allowed me to permit my downstairs finished basement without an extremely costly renovation to our septic (over $60,000, and that doesn't count demo'ing and replacing our driveway to get to the existing tank and leachfield), and even if I could permit it, it would essentially need to be a treehouse in the redwoods due to the slope (not a bad idea though, I would actually love a livable treehouse on this lot!

I actually keep a list our bookkeeping firm recommends based on firms/individuals we and our Clients have had good experiences with as well as I've personally had good experiences with.

I agree with Nathan-you may have gotten rid of most of the mold (which will grow back quickly if any is left), but there is somehow moisture coming in that is allowing it to live. 

It depends on where you want to live, income, personality, and other factors.You could buy a large home and rent out the individual rooms to cover expenses, but this comes with problems.

However, if you sell instead of rebuilding, the IRS may include part of the payout in your taxable gain unless reinvested under the §1033 involuntary conversion rules, which allow you to defer taxes by purchasing a similar property within two years.If the property was your primary residence, you may exclude up to $250K (single) or $500K (married) of gains if you lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years, likely resulting in no taxes owed.

This allowed me to stay in the office to work on the business and virtual side of things.Good luck!

This is a fine needle to thread because at this size, you very quickly start competing with high net worth individuals who are seeking summer homes. 

If your agent allows you to do things that way, they don't know what they are doing.

Sent you a message, regardless would love to connect with like minded individuals in Northwest Arkansas like yourself!
