@Dean Letfus Perhaps, but we are operating though a U.S.A. registered entity which is a 100% child subsidiary of a Canadian corporation.  

You would then incorporate your U.S.A. entity as a child corporation of your Canadian company (ie. 100% owned by the Canadian parent).  

I am under the impression that forming an LLC would be beneficial for the following reasons:1) Access to business credit and the different products available(I know they're more expensive, but I like having options),2) "Legit" business appearance(perhaps that will help with PML/HML, or any situation where someone/entity only wants to work with recognized businesses),3) Asset protection,4) Lends to better bookkeeping, keeping personal and business separate.I was almost sold on a WY holding company, with child companies in my home state(NC) where I will be operating. 

I should have sold it to invest in something producing a better return but I had planned on giving it to our child as his starter home.Good luck

It appears right now that there is a family who lives there currently and their child has the closed off room and the parents sleep in the open bedroom...it seems to work OK for them but I am concerned that down the line other renters would not consider this a second bedroom and we would have to price it as a 1 bedroom unit.To close off the open bedroom would make a very small bedroom and make a tight hallway to the bathroom and other bedroom.Does anyone have any experience with this type of layout?

(the code does mention egress window and a door + 7' min ceiling height). 

Would we need to be concerned about ceiling height and doorway clearance? 

She receives child support and state money for foster child. 

.- Slack off on paying court ordered child support or alimony. - Slack off on paying the IRS their cut of your income.- Unpaid time off work.- Etc.If doing any of those is important, go do it before house hunting.

I think its $10k per child/yr tax free to you.The not clear part in your question is;  what is it your dad is tring to accomplish and 2nd question is what is it that you need help with?
