If you hire out work or whatever, you are going to want to drive by it somewhat regularly.  

Pps  you do get to subtract the selling costs (in you example maybe $30k in commissions and closing costs) from your taxable profit.

Of course, we were monitoring the situations and asked neighbors to quiet down on occasions, but because they still occasionally made noise (regular household noise, not massive, all-night parties), and I didn't evict, then I'm not accommodating her needs.Does anyone know of any special accommodations that need to be made for mental health reasons (as opposed to handicapped access, etc) that I need to know about before going to court?

I have found a property that I like for my new primary residence and I am trying to see if the seller is open to a longer duration close where I rent from the seller for 90-120 days to allow enough time for the investment properties to get leased.I am also considering asking if they would be willing to explore a seller-financed option but I don't know how to structure that so that a regular seller might find that more attractive than a regular closing. 

The best option would be to regularly attend real estate meet ups and get into the right circles.

If you don't plan to work anymore, you may want to consider the rule of 55.The distributions from the retirement account will be taxable in one way or another(now or later).You want to plan it in a way so the overall tax burden is less. 

Moving is expensive and regular, incremental rent increases at lease renewal are expected and necessary to keep up with your operating costs. 

Excel tells me how much all of the regular things are (mortgage, insurance, etc), but the notebook is where I track everything for taxes and what I grab when I do my taxes (along with a file with all the receipts and copies of bills). 

There is probably no regular trash pick up or it is by a local guy with a truck3.)
