@Oscar Macal You received some good advice from @Arlan Potter I'll just add a few things that might help.Your concern about a car accident causing someone to go after other assets is a legitimate concern. 

The legitimate courses will shine through the non-legitimate ones as each persons experience grows within their personnel real estate investments.

I felt starting an LLC may have been premature initially, but I felt that paying those fee's would make me look like a legitimate business. 

Sounds good Sherry... i will be in for monthly meetup. we can select venue in middle of DFW metro...

Nice venue too by the way.

There are many other venues tied to real estate but I think i have made my point.

I am no expert here, but I am an American living internationally full time, going on my third year.My assumption would be that if you kept one unit open with your furniture in there and legitimately treated it as your primary U.S. residence, you could use that to get an owner-occupied rate.

If they are legitimate business expenses, you can still deduct them, they just don't get associated with a property.  

I want real estate investments to be the entire venue for my income.I have a few month's of money in my pocket.

At the time, the bank will then confirm that the seller has a legitimate hardship and the price is close to fair market value for the home.
