We have a few furnaces to replace and AC's to install (possibly- see below).2) What does everyone estimate the value of central air to be in a upper-medium-end rental in Minneapolis?

I have a property that I am looking to purchase, and I would like the community to tell me what they think.What: A fixer upper Duplex in Central California (buy and hold)Context: I attended a local REI meetup a few weeks ago, and was approached to purchase a property from a local Real Estate agent and Investor.

@Muller Dessie, by the way, I have that I just tied under contract it is a real fixer-upper property and amazing deal in Indian Head, MD are you interested in fix and flip?

Currently looking at some fixer-upper deals and small multi-families for our next investment.Below are some pictures of our property:

They call the unspoken obstacle “renting while black.”It doesn’t help that developers are largely focused on the upper end of the housing market.One developer, Pardee Homes, is building $400,000-plus homes on the edge of the desert.

Hi BP,I have a friend of mine bought a land through tax foreclosure auction...he bought it without doing any due diligence ahead of time, anyways he found out its a very small lot and worth nothing if he is trying to sell.The appraisal value is $12k and he paid a bit less but no body would buy such lot on the market...somebody told him to donate the land to the city or the county or some sort of organization that helps people and file it on his tax return as deduction. my questions are: 1- Any suggestions who to target to donate the land 2- If he donated the land can he file it as a loss or deduct it from his tax refund at the end of the year...he is entitled to pay some capital gain taxes on other properties he sold so this deduction will definitely help.3- If point 2 is doable will he be able to file based on the appraisal value $12k?

Welcome to the game Aaron.You're in a great market that is sure on its way up.Since you're on the ground you'll have the upper hand compared to all of the out of state guys. 

My wife and I rented out our family home when we moved 300 miles north into Michigan's Upper Peninsula about 5 years ago , a place we call Gods country.

in SF have some insight.....On 9/1, I leased a three-bedroom apartment in San Francisco from the landlord who lives in the upper unit (owner-occupied duplex).
