I've never understood that mentality...If you don't need the cash flow to meet your living expenses right now, it becomes a play for stability and long-term appreciation. https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Because I communicated with them they understood my position and everything went smoothly.

I wish I better understood or could find a good calculator to see more precisely what the tax benefit of the bonus deduction/depreciation would be.  

@Frank ChinI've never understood this. 

You probably understood a lot more of it than I did.

Even then, several businesses will be seeing over seas demand dry up.The only things we know for sure right now are that nothing like this has never happened before, our institutions (financial, business, political) were not prepared for anything on this scale, a lot of investors and consumers are carrying high levels of debt, and the short and long term implications of our crisis management efforts on the economy are not understood yet.Hopefully it works out and everything goes totally back to normal in a month as if nothing ever happened.

I am not in the market to buy commercial property (my husband and I are vacation rental investors) but am interested in working with commercial property owners on developing income streams, especially with what is going on right now and wanted to make sure I understood their existing pain points so that I am not creating a problem that doesn't exist.

I generally understood the explanation before hand and again, ignoring property values, interest rates and micro-market climates makes sense because they cloud the math (i.e. - don't sell in a down market, don't refinance into a higher rate, etc.).

Hello, I am just starting my real estate career (I bought a couple of best selling books and started reading) and have a question regarding refinancing:1- If I understood the concept well, refinancing is great in real estate because you can buy a house at $100k (made-up number), fix it up to market value at $150k let's say, so you have an extra $50k in equity that you can get out through refinancing, is that correct?

But it could be argued, and it might before a magistrate who doesn't know you and is trying to deal with local slumlord issues effectively, that as you say, it's understood that she still wants her stuff.
