I have only been looking at residential, single family, but today I found two commercial spaces (office) that would be a great fit for my growing day job business as a lactation consultant (currently operate just by doing home visits, but want a dedicated office space to see clients one day).

These improvements included updating essential systems, modernizing the interior, and enhancing curb appeal, all of which dramatically increased the home’s market value and buyer appeal.

This is why I got into note investing - I spent 20+ years in commercial and residential real estate - then for my own portfolio looked at tax liens and realized there is not much creativity that can be had there, but if you have a creative math mind there is so much you can do with notes to be creative and as you mention create income, or wealth building. 

While I'm not certain about your current real estate objectives, I can assure you that this is an excellent platform to enhance your knowledge and connect with others in the field.

And I have a friend that is informing me of the next meetup he goes to so I will try my best to meet others and gather what I can learn from their experience.To answer your first question its a residential portfolio of single family, duplexes, a few triplexes and two quads.

To do this, divide the cost based on the ratio of the fair market value (FMV) of each asset to the total FMV of the entire property at the time of purchase.If you are uncertain about the FMVs of the land and the buildings, you can alternatively allocate the cost based on their assessed values for property tax purposes.Source: IRS Publication 527 (Residential Rental Property)

Hello everyone,My Canadian company owns a residential property in California and I want to sell it to my own personal name as I am closing my company.I don't know which professional to consult to help me do the transfer besides my CPA.Can I do the transfer of the deed myself (going to the County Recorder’s Office) and just check with my CPA for taxes due?

I realize residential financing doesn't currently allow for this and pulling money out down the road could be more complex or strictly in the commercial lending realm.Any and all feedback is appreciated!

I think this is the gift and the curse of a still emerging asset class (short term rentals) - as it becomes more "institutional" i.e. more like commercial real estate with more sophisticated buyers then financials and systems for this will likely become more streamlined and stable, but we are still in a place where the buyer pools are more newish investors or typically residential basic investors, so not has experienced or sophisticated evaluating investments based on a detailed financial analysis like more seasoned commercial investors likely would.anyways, just a guess on what might be going on here

Is there any state specific flavors for residential property in USA?
