We all know one of the advantages of investing in real estate is the tax benefits.

Walls are priced one way, ceilings another, then you have baseboard, trim and doors. 

One investor I know had a Section 8 tenant initially but chose not to renew the lease in order to bring in a more qualified tenant and increase the rent.You’re in the right place to connect with like-minded investors who have walked a similar path.

We have 16 units and I get maybe one noise complaint a year because everyone is aware and tries to be respectful. 

I would like to purchase a three or four Plex and live in one of the units.I understand I can use an FHA loan or conventional loan with only 3 to 5% down in order to get into the property however I live in a very expensive area and the properties I am looking at are currently 700+. 

Downsizing a one factory town.I would expect if FedGov downsizes, a lot of the corresponding periphery businesses/consulting firms, etc shut down.There has also been talk of such things like FBI moving out of Washington, I think some of that has already been the trend, but may accelerate. 

That is one of the fears is that there won't be an agreement on what he wants in a house.

Building long term partnerships and not a one time deal.

THEN 1031 it into another rehab that costs more than what you are selling the old one for.

with that said - sure, call around and see what's on offer.i recommend The One Brokerage, David Greene's company.
