This sad incident should convince you--and perhaps teach others who learn about it--to ALWAYS get personal service contracts like this in writing, spelling out all the details. The singer is used to--and happy--to sign contracts; but the singer is probably much happier when folks like you give him... View More
Do I need to put 2 these houses into my LLC, or I can leave them separated, and then I still can do taxes for my LLC?

The rental should be reported on Sch E if not actively managed or Sch C is actively managed.
If you put the rentals in your LLC you still file them on C or E based on active participation.

Concerning an auto auction arbitration policy: "NAAA Arbitration Policy" is dated 2017 and covers arbitration rules. The company website lists "Marketplace Policies" that also address arbitration but is dated 2011. The two policies conflict in some areas. Which policy takes precedence?
answered on Nov 24, 2018
It could be difficult for an attorney to answer without reading both policies. You could present both policies to an attorney in your state.

I can't possibly think of a department or 'professional license' that this would apply to.
If anything, the bigger issue is working out possible areas of liability such as if someone is injured while hiking or while engaged in any of the survivalist activities. You would... View More
