For example, if I send my son money for books, can I do so as a property manager fee so that this is also tax deductible.4) If my son, finds the monthly payment to be to much while he is in school and I end up shouldering some of the costs, how long per IRS rules can I carry a loss on the property.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Swann is a large company and are likely easy to find at Best Buy, etc.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

First off, has the developer provided you with a term sheet (not a commitment) from a bank showing they'd lend 75% LTC on a mixed-use development?

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This is a story from my past that provides a perfect example as to why investing in tax liens at auction is so dangerous for any but the most experienced and knowledgable investors20 years ago I purchased a SFR as a long term rental investment that sat on a double lot.
