I know your intentions are good but you may need to consult with a SEC attorney.

Just bought a property in Gainesville Georgia, 1900 duplex which has two entrances, two stairs and everything double except for the kitchen which is only on one side, it was rented as a single family but I bought it with the intention of building the kitchen on the side that doesn’t have one and rent both apartments.The common wall has doors that communicate which each side of the duplex but I was talking to a friend that told me that I need to build a firewall on that wall because of the code.

Yes, my intention is to increase my NOI by having tenants pay for their own water. 

The nerve....How do those people sleep at night knowing they intentionally hurt someone this way?

That was not my intention at all.  

This would not qualify for a 1031 because your intent in obtaining the property was primarily to resell. 

Hi All - been lurking for a while, but I potentially have a lead on my first property a single family unit 4 bedroom, 2.5bath that I may be able to intentionally purchase in a direct sale from relatives. 

My intention is to house-hack a 3-4 unit using the VA loan.

When you get the loan you will sign a document saying you are going to live there.If you do not move in and your intention is to never move in it is mortgage fraud.I would not do it, not worth the risk to me.

From there call the city and tell them your intention, without the address please, and what do you have to do to get there.
