My understanding is profit from lending is considered "taxable income" and is therefore added to your income and subject to your normal tax rate after all deductions, etc.

100% occupancy for a LTR is normal.

We actually just had several go in on Livingston ave on the west side where I'd not normally think would be desirable, but they look great and really brought the block up.So I'm a huge fan personally from seeing them go up in my own area.  

I'm struggling with the idea that it is somewhat normal in this market but it does seem like it would be a negative to potential tenants.

.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

My question is, do you keep your gains in a normal checking account and do not worry about inflation working against that account or do you store funds in a high interest bank account or a mix.

The next several years are expected to be in a normal range of appreciation between 3.5 to 5%.

I just stayed in a hotel in Moab and we had an A/C issue and it took two days to resolve and, honestly, that's not that out of line with my normal experience at hotels.I don't know where people dreamed up this idea that all hotels have someone waiting outside your room ready to resolve anything in 5 minutes. 

They post their rooms on the normal hotel, discount site, etc.

They either list owner-occuiped houses for sale or know they can show a normal buyer 5-10 houses for a sale.- It's not profitable for them to search for under-market priced houses, figure out repairs needed or what other problem is pushing the price down and do even more for a newbie investor that has analysis-paralysis and may never buy anything.Some questions you'll want to share the answers to with any agent you choose:1) Are you paying cash or getting a mortgage?
