It has been frustrating but it also is a positive as I now can quickly know what deals to not even waste time on analyzing. 

Unfortunately, this problem waste a lot of my time that could be spent on other investments.I have used the same tax professional for many years and he is very educated, but also much older than me and it's hard for me to understand all the reasons he has expressed why is better to put the rental on my personal tax returns.

Our website was just OK, our email campaigns were hit and miss, our conference presence was fairly minimal. 

I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs. don't waste your time if they don't meet your criteria there is ZERO chance they will meet this guys.. remember they make their money with you folks dreaming of making money and paying for the dream.. 

., but for now, we like to only consider semi-stabilized (with minimal deferred maintenance) or fully stabilized, cash-flowing properties. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Would have to review documents about "waste" question.

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

This would be a waste of everyone's time and money.

A property in Boston will appreciate well, but with minimal cashflow.
