I apologize, I should have asked for clarification of the context for your question before responding.

My apologies for not being clear.

@Brian Eastman @Dmitriy Fomichenko @Lydia Simeon I apologize.

I apologize if I repeated myself I am just so upset over this mess.

But my question to you guys is, (and I apologize for such a long post)  after I get the new 'Secured promissory note' notarized, should I, and CAN I also have a lien put on the property I invested the $40k in?  

IT WAS NOT A RECOMMENDATIONI was merely pointing out that the tax code will allow you to pay more in taxes if you want to.I take responsibility and apologize for making a valueless point and needlessly diverting the conversation, but if you go back and reread my previous posts I think it was pretty clear I was not making a recommendation.Great Googly Moogly.  

Apologies for the mixup, and we are looking forward to seeing many of you on Tuesday, Nov 13 in Santa Clarita.

I apologize if this is hijacking, but I live in California but have two rentals in Philadelphia; would it be wise to use a Philly area CPA for tax purposes to make sure the person is savvy to the specifics of the area? 

Apologies for the delay in replying, it's our busy pre-leasing season. ;) You've both provided some really useful insight.

Hey BP Community -Apologies in advance, but I didn't see a clear cut category to put this post in, so I left it here in a spot that might get some viewership.
