There is really no reason to roll the dice in a craps game.

The second-floor tenants stayed (they’ve been great tenants), but the third-floor tenants refused to pay the increase.Spring: Turnovers and Learning ExperiencesAs spring rolled around, I turned my attention to getting the garden unit rent-ready.

So feels like a roll of a dice to me. 

In some places, from what I read in Forbes, even a finished outbuilding might be noted separately rather than rolled into the main house’s footprint.

It's set up to roll over when the lease expires. 

Back before I retired, I didn't need any of the cash flow at all so all profit just rolled back into more properties.

Yes I think I should explore around , pick a market and see how things roll .

many years later this is my 1st time seeing this post. you are absolutely correct. the people have been the treasury since 1933. your signature is requires for anything financial to get rolling.

Set action plans that your going to strive for ____ and if by __ date plan A fails, you roll too plan B.

As mentioned elsewhere, breakeven on cash flow is not the same as break even for taxes.Let's make some assumptions:Rental income = $1000Mortgage payment = $400 - but $300 is interest and $100 is principalOther expenses (repairs, advertising, utilities, etc) = $600Depreciation = $250The above scenario creates a break even from a cash flow perspective, however the tax scenario looks like this:Rental income minus the mortgage interest (principal is not deductible) minus the other expenses minus depreciation looks like this:1000-300-600-250 = $150 LossIf your income is over $150,000, then you cannot deduct that loss, but you can roll it over to future years.
