To my knowledge, that is not required in Missouri, but then again I haven't built any 4 plexes lately, just rehabbed some that might be grand fathered in. 

Son murdered his father in the living room and then killed himself.

As we need the house so we can move in as we live currently in one room within my husband's father's house where I teach my classes online while my kids are on Zoom at the same time, we said that we are willing to forgive $25 000 rental debt and give them two extra months to leave.

My father has been in real estate sales for about 40 years and he has taught me a little bit.  

if you believe people are going to invest money with you in a blind pool, letting you choose the investments, pre fund your potentional deals before you identify them, and then allow you to use "new money" to cover "old money" loses, you are far off base.IF you are able to convince someone to invest in one of your deals (unless it's your father whose essentially giving you a gift), they are going to want to know the property their money is buying, what percent ownership they get for the money vs what you get for finding and structuring the deal, and how the profits, income, or loses are allocated.  

My father in law had a LLC in Missouri and it sounded much less costly then TN.

Hello, my father has some brand new duplexes being built in Davenport that is almost completed.

Thanks for your fatherly advice, but I did not Lie to the IRS, and I did accurately report my income taking full advantage of my allowable deductions. 

Hi Zachary,Perhaps sit down with the Father of your new young Bride and say to him"Charles (or Ray, or Carlos, or whatever his name is) I (think I) qualify to buy a nice house for us to live in but I don't have any down payment cash.

Myself and my father would be managing the build.
