 Need to get facts straight. I copied and pasted from a CNBC article regarding National debt.....

President Barack Obama’s administration racked up nearly as much debt in eight years than in the entire 232-year history of the country before he took office. He entered with $10.6 trillion in total debt and left with the country owing $19.9 trillion. That’s an average tab of $1.16 trillion a year.

Under President Donald Trump, the debt also has climbed. The $2.06 trillion increase works out to about $991 billion a year, or slightly less than the pace Obama had set.

I live in Hopkinsville, being from here, it is hugely important to know exactly where the property is. The median income here is low. The market is based largely on sq footage than anything else. An 1800 sq ft home puts it outside the "nicer" more "established" neighborhoods. With that understood you have to know what people are willing to pay for 1800 sq feet. just look in that sq footage query and you will have a better idea. Nashville and Hoptown are two totally different worlds. This may or may not be helpful, but the best of luck!

 Craig, Thanks for the reply. This flip is on Greenwood Dr. and is all brick and in the Millbrook Elem, Hopkinsville Middle and Hopkinsville High district. All counters are granite.

 Wayne thanks for the reply and good luck with your business!!

Hello fellow real estate investors! I have a current flip outside of my home state. The area is about 85 miles from Nashville but in KY. I have opened up the floor plan, making the kitchen, dining room and living room one large room. There were red oak hardwoods virtually throughout and I added same into kitchen. Kitchen was gutted and new cabinets and stainless appliances added. Some old cabinets were used to make butler's pantry in dining room closet. Home has 2 full baths that I gutted and replaced tile and vanities adding double sinks and granite to each. Large utility room was divided up to have walk in pantry with barn door, a mud room area and a laundry area with tile floor added. New HVAC 3 ton system was added. Landscaping is getting cleaned up with trimming trees, adding planting beds. My question is this....If this home, being a 3 br/2 bath with approx 1800 ft, were in Nashville, I would probably be able to sell it between $290-325K. Thgis home is in Hopkinsville, KY near FT Campbell and in best school district. My problem is that most in neighborhood have not been equally upgraded and thus do not offer very good comparables. Is there another way that you folks have found to estimate a renovated value? I do not want to leave money on the table.

I have not heard about that tax rule could you go farther into depth?

 I just know I heard it either here or thru another real estate site but for personal tax purposes I was told that you are limited to 4 plexes and if larger must file under corporate taxes. Maybe someone with CPA qualifications here could clarify.

Anyone else have a copy of these forms that might work for me?

Hi folks. I am closing on my first sfh on Monday. I have found a GC for the project. I have been told that I need several forms for GC to sign. I am missing 2:

1) Insurance indemnification form

2) a good lien waver for GC to sign before receiving final payment

Any help would be appreciated!!

I believe anything larger than a 4 plex will require a corporate tax filing......but I am a newbie and may be wrong.
