Bernie Huckestein CPA / Tax Team Member -- appreciate help
28 September 2017 | 3 replies
Now I can potentially see why I got no response for days, I've tried to speak with several CPA accountants and they either: a) said something which tells me they have no idea about it and I'd be paying for them to research or,b) paraphrase...that is a dumb, stupid idea drummed up by people looking to hit you with fees, I would not take on a client who tries to do that (SDIRA) I know Maine as a state is not the most progressive but either hundreds of people on this site are in the scamming business, or the folks I have spoken to have their head in the sand....geez, if I could find just one he/she might be able to carve out a specialized practice for themselvesI get that the primary tax laws are federal so I could go out of state...maybe that is the play but if possible I would like someone close by for thoughts, advice, and convenience (not just for Sdira).  
Abhijeet Gavli Does this rental make sense?
23 January 2017 | 15 replies
You can practice your land-lording skills and then easily sell-out in the future(3) As a primary residence, you shouldn't have to pay any capital gains on the sale if it appreciates (verify with your accountant b/c I don't know your personal situation)Those are the positives that I see, but the big question is where would YOU live if you're renting out this property?

Mark Caudill Has anyone reviewed S2A modular? Just doing my diligence
19 September 2023 | 241 replies
I've never had the opportunity to 1031 into a brand new building, because it wasn't practical to build a brand new building in six months; but it is with modular.That timeframe is achievable because the entire building is being constructed in the factory, at the same time the site work, foundation, and utility installations are being completed.
Alan Grobmeier Tired of getting calls from wholesalers and flippers
2 April 2019 | 18 replies
This is annoying and disruptive, and with the continuous flood of new wholesalers trying their hand at the game, the onslaught will probably generate enough complaints from normal people that eventually encourage the powers that be to crack down on wholesaling, which in Ohio, is apparently an illegal practice of real estate agency.

Bill Patterson Anything You Want Me To Tell NAR?
27 July 2010 | 23 replies
The "dots" are the Realtor postings and the "zeros" are my responses:•“I would not get involved in such a transaction because 1) I don't want to lose my license to practice real estate and go to jail, and 2) I would not be acting in my seller's best interest if he could get a higher price for his home and not be saddled with a larger income tax on the forgiven debt.†oBill Patterson • Quite the contrary!

Ty Burns Cost to Stucco Over Brick??
19 January 2019 | 4 replies
If you do something that is in poor practice, hiding faults, that can be seen as fraudulent acts and the issue of a contractor being liable for one year on work goes out the window, fraud may begin when it's discovered, so you need to stick to common practice.I agree with Ben, a thick coat or paint would probably do it and I don't care for painted brick either.
