If have Dealer staus acording tothe IRS even if you hold a property longer than one year you still pay ordinary income on it and all your gains are subject to self empoyment taxes (ie: Social security @15%~~).

Any time I've ever done construction, I just got a contruction loan and the bank accepted my ownership of the land in lieu of a down payment.The bank wants security and the clear title to the land quarantees that there is equity in the project.

Do I just keep the security deposit?

Just as you would for a regular tenant, it is necessary to screen section 8 tenants (even more so in my opinion).You are ultimately responsible for your business and as such, you should take the necessary precautions and steps to reduce potentially problematic tenants.

If a tenant moves out of a property after his lease was completed and the landlord refused to return the full security deposit due to "dusting and cleaning of the apartment" is it possible for the tenant to file a mechanics lein on the property for the remainder of deposit?

Do REO MLS listings behave any different than "regular" listings in this regard?

I'm looking for buyers that will buy from me on a regular basis if I present them what they want.

How do you find people willing to invest without running afoul of state and federal securities regulations.

If you have incurred a short term financial hardship and your loan is 90 days to 365 days past due a special forbearance is designed to provide you with more relief than is possible with a regular repayment plan.
