Homeownership may be one step closer than you think if you spend your dollars wisely this year.Based on data released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Americans can expect an estimated average refund of $2,962 when filing their taxes this year.According to programs from the Federal Housing Authority, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae, many first-time buyers can purchase a home with as little as 3% down.

I want to one day be a big lender, funding deals and pursuing my career in music / speaking.

I was quoted $300 including filing fees plus another $400 to transfer the paid off condo to the LLC.Please advise.Thanks

If it says SFR then you need to figure out what the requirements are to make deconvert to a duplex i.e, number entrances/exits, ceiling height, etc.It may be as easy as filing some paperwork, but you need to do some more research first. 

Zillow adds preforeclosures when a lis pendens is filed on a property, however, rarely do these come to market as the majority of them are worked out.

You want to minimize the chance of being without a chair if the music stops (and having to chase the market down to sell).If you don't have a lot of experience rehabbing, which it didn't sound like you do, then I'd say it's safer to stick to a smaller rehab.

Your strongest position is to bill your Tenant as you normally do in addition to base rent and then file a 'Notice to Quit for Non-payment of Rent' this will be the most enforceable and quickest way to remove the tenant in most, if not all, states.

IE I have companies that file in North of 30 states, but I am only licensed in NH.

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider will handle the ongoing compliance support such as any required 5500 filing (e.g. 5500-ez for a one-participant plan with assets in excess of $250,000), any required tax reporting (e.g. 1099-r in the event of a distribution or in-plan Roth conversion), mandatory plan updates and amendments, etc.4.

Generally, if you have lived in the place for 2 years of any 5 year period you don't pay capital gains on the first $250k if single or $500k if married filing jointly.
