@Harris Dy I'm also looking into a single family that needs some work so I can both build equity and decrease my monthly rent/mortgage cost.

Do they increase or decrease due to supply or what?

When I sell my house, does the basis decrease by $10000  or $5000 every year?

Obviously a 30 year payment plan would decrease the monthly amount. about 200$ if I am figuring correctly.

The market has seen a lot of national hedge fund investors that are buying up markets which will decrease available inventory and increase property value. 

They should check if they are insolvent or speak to their CPA about other ways to decrease tax liabilities if they have them.

The boot is treated as passive income and you will get to deduct the losses.On top of that. 1)First, see if you can find a way to decrease your AGI below 150 in you are on the borderline.

I'd suggest renting out the basement, but seeing that you're likely in Florida, basements aren't typically available.I used to rent out rooms in my house, and it worked out fine and decreased my PITI mortgage by half.

I just read Brandon's book on rental properties not long ago and it said a GOOD WAY to decrease risk of discrimination being an issue to take first come first serve (by qualification of course) as I stated in my earlier post.

NPV gives you a dollar figure that represents the increase  (or decrease ) in cashflow for the term of the investment.
