Cities with high crime rates struggle to attract new businesses.

But I see people turning long term or highly appreciated primaries in to rentals.

Would having a highly insured property (1,000,000+ liablity) plus not being a negligent or slum landlord be sufficient and not require the use of an LLC? 

Granted this primarily filters out the small deals or the highly leveraged deals, neither of which I do, but making 20% on a ARV 150k house is $30k. 

Effectively no, otherwise everyone would do it and there would be no rent controlled buildings.If the property becomes vacant there are scenarios you can remove it from rent control. 

As a result, my bill has effectively risen from $500 bi-monthly to $700 monthly since the pipe replacement.

Great reason for not pulling deductions forward.I have been retired from a W2 job for some time and my income is at an all time high and will just keep going up with more RE investments. 

I flip with cash, not loans, mainly because there are not enough deals out there that meet my highly selective acquisition criteria, so no need to pay interest on cash otherwise sitting in a money market account. 

To produce a heat map type effect, add a column in your spreadsheet called "group" and assign an appropriate value for each address.

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me?
