I am a Canadian dad looking to help my 19 and 21-year-old kids start in real estate. They are attending school and do not have jobs to get a mortgage. How can I avoid capital gains on the sale of these houses when they are sold? Can I place their names on the mortgage documents and act as the co-signer?

I am a part-time teacher barely surviving, living paycheck to paycheck. This year, I made $24,311.48 in income from my teaching job, which withheld $1,804.35 in federal taxes, $1,507.34 in social security, $352.55 in Medicare, and $319.61 in state taxes. I also had a babysitting job over the summer earning $2,322 with no tax withheld. Do I have to claim this income, and will I get audited if I don't? Additionally, can I deduct car repairs if I used the car for babysitting?

I built a 26-house subdivision in 2004 and 2005, and then sold the remaining 62 lots to one builder with a note for $1,200,000, receiving payments as each house sells. I made minimal improvements to the subdivisions, holding them for 1.5 and 2 years respectively. A CPA told me that under IRC 453L2, I can get an exemption from dealer status and do an installment sale, deferring tax until I get paid by the buyer. Can you confirm this?
