I'm not sure the luxury home type offices are my cup of tea.

You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-tea...I invest locally in Columbus, Ohio

My 2 cents - if bookkeeping is not your cup of tea then hire someone. ----- ASK yourself where am I making money?

There are a few reasons I can see someone not using it i.e. they are relying on appreciation (not my cup of tea), they look forward to equity build up and loan payoff, or maybe they are seasoned investors that know their maintenance and management keeps at a certain percentage.

This would force a future investor (or you) to have to deal with the maturity event and the borrower which may not be their cup of tea.

I have a chinese herbologist in Chicago that I go to for preventative care that I need treatment for. 50 bucks and she'll put together a tea of sticks and leaves that perform far better than any prescription for things like mild food poisoning.Now I'm just a property adjuster but I know how insurance companies think and there's no way in heck they'll have a health care plan that includes leaf and stick tea.

And it wasn't by sitting around drinking tea with the enemy.

I did attend the local Tea Party today and it was EXCELLENT!

Not a tea tax.

Same goes for "unconscionable profits": it is only unconscionable when a court of law says so.And when it comes to "informed sellers", I encourage every homeowner I deal with to seek advice from the relevant expert (tax expert, RE lawyer, RE agent, psychic/medium, tea leaves, whomever they feel is working in their best interests) on what is best for them in the transaction.
