@Russell Brazil ,  I dont like the higher tax rate in Howard County versus Montgomery County.yeah that's also true

So, here I am trying to figure out if this is true or not and what have you all done, if you own an STR property which is like a log cabin.

In addition, the complaints are reading that the non-profit used actual actors/"testers" to reach out to me on these listings to confirm what these 2 individuals were saying was true, which of course, I also replied, "Sorry, no vouchers".Now I've had to hire a lawyer who specializes in cases like this, and has actually gone up against this non-profit in the past, but with a much bigger client who owned 20+ apartment buildings, and was also openly saying "no Section 8 vouchers".

It’s true that operating expenses can be deducted immediately, while capital expenditures are typically spread out over a longer period.

It sounds too good to be true.

@Jay HinrichsReminds me of the cereal companies creating the nutrition / food pyramid.Of course they are gonna have an opinionated pieceI agree in vacation / beach areas they are great but once you start getting into true residential neighborhoods I can see them being very problematic

If that's true then what's the incentive to keep the investor's costs low?

Pure, true cashflow is difficult to find. 

Is it true that if I get a title search (and it comes back clean) that I can be pretty confident there are no additional liens or monies owed that I'll now be responsible for paying off? 

@Basit Siddiqi true. the other side of the coin is with rehab situations sometimes there are issues with the property that prevent lenders from getting involved.
