I found this deal listed for sale on LoopNet.

of course the sale of hurricane damaged houses also confuses the issue (my house had no such damage but is only about 4 blocks from houses that did). 

Most businesses, property management or not, fail due to the lack of sales, not due to the lack of systems and phone etiquette.

After diligent searching there are ZERO duplexes for sale within an hours drive of my work place.

Would like confirmation on that though.For Solara, there seems to be no restrictions but a lot of houses for sale. 

I am staying wondering why there is so little information on tax liens,  i read some books on notes and foreclosures but looks like a big secret here... maybe that's the reason... i need to go into this to find out :)

Usually in the year following your purchase, the property appraiser will reevaluate the house based on the new sales price.  

When you go to sell, you're subject to tax on the amount of profit between your adjusted basis and sale price, not your purchase vs sale price.Recapture is not repaying the depreciation.

I do generally agree with the sentiment of Austin and the other hosts that fundamentals will always win out in the long run, and this by nature is a long term industry, even the sales side I'm learning.  

I have sales reps that know me, free delivery, net 90 billing, constant product updates a bullet proof warranties.
