I just got done making a YT video on the subject, so it's fresh on my mind.

I was lucky to split the sales over 2 years, so the first ~80k gain is tax free and 80-480k was at 15%, which I was able to take advantage of twice.

FBI: Foreclosure Rescue FraudThese con artists convince desperate homeowners that they can save a house from foreclosure if the homeowner deeds the property to them and pays an exorbitant fee up front.https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/newss-foreclosure-rescu...18 U.S.C. §§ 1014, 1343, 1344, 1349, 1961, 1963 (2024).18 U.S.

Tenant took photos and videos but nothing detailed - a single shot or two of a room from the entrance, so is saying fridge was fine, normal wear etc Next - If we are being nice and deducting ‘portions’ of the charges and tenant continues to grind away, or this goes to court, do the compromise and smaller amounts offered negate the full amounts that could have been charged

I would consider offering an incentive like a free application fee, or $50 off first month, free parking for 3 months etc.

Would it be worth seeking a free consultation with a real estate attorney to evaluate my case?

Also do a video when its done.

@Carl Rowles get someone over there to document the damages with a ton of pics AND a narrated video - you may need this for any insurance claim.Regarding your insurance, many of the residential insurers: Allstate, Farmers, State Farm, etc., have a clause that makes your policy invalid if the property is vacant for more than 30 days.- Check with your insurance agent ASAP.You'll need to file a claim and get a claim number.Try to get an insurance adjustor in ASAP, so you can start pumping water out, removing all water damaged drywall and get dehumidifiers in. - Note: the insurance company's adjustor will try to minimize your claim amount.

But if the market softens and allows, we will do BRRRR's instead.On the brokerage side, I want to expand my video footprint into short form on 5 platforms.
