Also, you will have to file 990-T every year that you are collecting rent on the portion of rent after expenses attributed to the debt...look up UDFI but you need a tax guy for that as there is a formula.

I want them to stand out a little bit.

That means that even though cashflow-wise, I am in the same position as I would have been by renting, I have increased equity in the property (net worth) of $7,500.(2) Unlike rent, everything else I pay for is a tax deduction with the exception of the portion of some expenses attributable to my personal use of the property (the 12.5% of the property I use myself) rather than my business use of the property (the 87.5% of the property that I rent out to others).

I feel like I have so many more attributes I need to put to use and working for "the man" severely restricts the freedom to use them.

Try to be a innovative and different, so you & your message stand out vs. the competition...  

Try to stand out from the rest.

The idea behind my own design was to stand out from the bombardment of mailers absentee owners are getting weekly, monthly.

I've also found that creative mailers significantly increase response rates as they help you stand out from your competition.  

The key is you can make your place easily stand out against your competition.

I stand out of the crowd for this reason and know I can be successful.
