For the money, there probably isn't any other local place you can go for the depth of support a decent REIA can provide. 9 out of 10 title companies are designed for the typical first time home buyer and might not understand your creative finance package for example...your local REIA can help guide you to someone that does in fact get it.I have managed to buy property found via REIA classifieds, though today it seems such publications just create too much competition.

I stopped by this afternoon for an outside look and would classify it as being in a B area and from the outside, it looks very nice.

I have some rentals in all of the so called a, b and c markets I guess... never really classified them that way.

Is there a case where the following occurred, in which the IRS has claimed a victory for the defendant under the following:-High W-2 income earner invests in short term rentals-taxpayer is not a real estate professional -offers rental for less than 7 days on average-materially participates and more hours than anyone else etc etc (100 hours and so forth)-files it on schedule E as passive and does not offer substantial services to be classified as schedule C - cost segs a million dollar purchase for 200k and deducts from W-2 income to owe no taxes There are a ton of moving pieces with this, and the more complicated something is with the IRS the worse it is for the taxpayer when dealing with an audit.

I realize classifying neighborhoods is not an exact science and turnkey marketers may stretch the facts.
