I dont have enough eyes and ears on the ground for the areas that you listed beacuse my main territory is SE.

Another hassle of doing an LLC is that you cant appear pro se in court (at least in California). 

It's shameful what some absentee owners have done to sections on NW/SE Roanoke and I'm actively trying to buy several SFR's off of local landlords who have neglected to do any maintenance for at least 10 years. 

Hi Raisa,No, I don't know of any factories per se but I do have direct knowledge of some of the individuals that were involved in the Orlando venture (that I evaluated) and they were genuine.

See what others are doing in your market and se if there is a way you can do it better.

Also the chief complaint amongst neighbors is not partying per se but kids splashing in pools during a summer Tuesday night is a constant nag.

They've been evicted and we are cleaning it now (no damage per se, but so dirty it will take a few more days). 

I think it just feels bad since we're coming off historic lows and got used to crazy low rates. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...

IRC 469 and IRC 1402 (SE tax) are not connected at the hip.

What you're proposing is the conversion of ordinary income subject to SE taxes into deferred capital gain, OR potential exclusion of the income all-together under IRC Sec 121 if the property is to be your residence.I've seen no reasonable basis for such a position.
