As for rooting against the home team, that is a personal choice. 

I soon will be helping one of my buyers raise capital for an apartment deal once finalized and under contract. 

When the title company, escrow agent or attorney prepares the closing documents, they simply factor in the second mortgage payoff amount into the final distribution of funds to the seller.A second mortgage should have little or no effect on a homeowner's ability to sell her home.

So this final category takes care of the site work.

Neither choice seems like a mistake.

Multiple offers come in, they ask for best and final and sell it.

I would seek competent tax advice, but if your spouse is working a regular nine to five type job (hourly wage or salary) then the choice will probably be straight forward.

Finally, would I be better off registering a US corporation or I'm fine with my EIN number, I'm asking this for financing purposes.I know that my questions are broad but without going into too much detail, I wanted to know if there is a possibility for me to do this while staying in Canada and avoid travelling for each deal.Thank you very much for your time,Jude

Finally go see the house and determine the repair costs.

Still about 5-6 weeks, best case, till my Divorce is final but things are coming together.
