If 60-100 millionaires get royally pissed off within the next couple years - expect a magic green party style candidate to re-arise.

The idea of deferring taxes and having your capital "uninhibitedly" grow sounds great, but the govmt will get the taxes later, AND the tax rates will be higher then they are now, you can be certain of that.I'd rather be able to act in an unfettered and free style with my capital ("it is my money, I'll use it when and how I want") and work out the best strategies I can to mitigate the taxable events through each year.

Pick out your target price range, neighborhood(s), and style/age of house.

The specifics are a 3/1 on 10 acres of land for $195k financed with a home style loan package as an appraisal could not be obtained for a 203k.  

I choose a grayish shingle style and used a 30-year architectural shingle.

For me personally, I don't because it's not my style in generating business. 

@Eric A. and @Hubert H Byron III - I use a regular battery operated Kwickset #913 style lock on my SFH rental properties (all LTRs). 

It's a bit more cost effective to get to a hybrid of both styles.

Also depends what kind of style you are looking for.

Even if they're growing and understaffed at the moment, they must have a brother/sister/cousin/parent in town they could ask to help out with an open house style showing.
