For instance working until the end of December so that you are still employed there when they call your employer to follow up.

It's wasted money in most instances.  

If I foreclose on a property I am in contact well in advance with investors on trying to work a deal to sell it to them off market (and in some instances even finance some of the acquisition for the investor as well).

Small business owners are famous for booking business with their vacation trips, just so they can write the trip off!

I these situations the exit strategy is determined that property is to be sold in year x.If it’s 50/50 then in many instances costs and profits are split.

Adam Garza I assume the person who wants to buy it will have contingencies and most times a seller is selling to a wholesaler for quick sale and no contingencies - In this instance what value are you providing over having them list and sell with an agent ?

The courts also shy away from awarding specific performance in the instance of real estate disputes.  

For instance, there is nothing in the law about keeping security deposits in separate accounts. 

Typically its because the first appraiser is just a goof and doesn't know what they're doing.I really think the problem is that they see what we paid for the properties and just assume there's no way we could have gotten such a huge discount so they find irrational ways to comp the property "down".But that would be my suggestion in your instance.

@Ali QudsiUnless you are some not-for-profit organization - you will be required to pay property taxes.There are some instances that you buy a newly developed land/building and the county strikes a deal with you that you won't have to pay property taxes for X years but will ultimately have to pay them once the period is over.You can decrease your taxable income related to rental properties with depreciation.
