I invest in residual and commerical properties.

If their report is devoid of evictions, then it says that they are like most people and they have enough residual intelligence to realize that no matter what you pay your rent or your going to be homeless.

The MBS will still have residual value..As to banks going under.

Would I still have to pay $4.8 Million in taxes or would I only have to pay taxes of the residual income made by the cap rate of the property itself?

I made a chunk of change which set me up for a time to come, but not residual income to last forever.

But in one program I had - Donald Trump real esate program - the instructor stated that he NEVER sold a property - he kept them all for residual income/passive income and net worth and constantly increasing value.

You make money on the down payment, the difference in monthly payment and any residual as the final cash out by the third year.

Looking at all the good deals around and I need to build on my portfolio with some SFH's for residual income and hold for when the market gets back to full strength.

But still, the net yield (assuming a more realistic 45-50% expenses/vacancy/capital) is considerably better than most alternatives.Maybe it's this: they like you to lever up so that you can use your capital to buy multiple properties (meaning multiple sales and higher prop mgmt and maintenance residuals from tending to all these properties).

I am a multi unit guy and I have always been about residual income and thats how I look at most of my deals.
