I do not think this is true... there is a common believe that you should establish an LLC to invest - and then you open a business checking account for your LLC.. other then that - the LLC has no TAX benefits... it is used mainly as an extra layer of protection between yourself and the property..3. for loans - nothing lower then 40% that is correct, however - you should buy first properties CASH, file income tax every year - and that will start your credibility in the US.. fell free to reach for any questions:-)4. correct in most casesGood luck!!

Now I have to push back my block layer and framer .   

You'll spend more time and money trying to mask it. 

Most contractors subcontract the work to someone else and then you have another layer of profit for a 3rd party included. 

These plans are not offered directly by IRA custodians, but rather by consulting/legal firms that will layer an entity on top of the retirement plan so as to put you in direct control of all investment transactions.

How many would agree to protect your assets with as many layers as possible?

Even for a local bank, why would they add a layer of risk for themselves by offering a product they cannot sell to Fannie/Freddie, without at least adding in risk premium into the rate. 

A layer of 5/8" type-x drywall on the ceiling and min. 1/2" drywall around structures ( garage walls) supporting the partition would be required. 

Definitely a second layer of due diligence might be required.  

I guess you could say it's a "hot" hot water heater ;)The duplex only has 1 gas meter for both units.3 layers of roofs!
