Some of my properties on the beach also have a dry wood termite warranty and treatment plan.

I really do think that good screening and honest / fair treatment of tenants regulates a lot of the issues that people seem to have down the road. 

I just received word that Mike died last evening after a battle with cancer. 

It is often considered waste water and needs to be drained into an area for treatment.

All income to a traditional IRA has the same tax treatment and any earnings will be considered regular income when distributed - whether from stocks or real estate. 

I've filled out the 1040 Schedule D Tax worksheet 3 times and each time have come back with it being taxed at the marginal rate of 32%, with no particular special treatment, based on the flow of that worksheet I don't see how it could be any other way.I have read many, many, many, many, many threads on this forum mentioning the recapture being taxed up to 25%.

So if anyone out there wants a guaranteed return of 7% and wants to do seller financing let me know 😊 I’ll be happy to take care of all the headaches and set you up with a stable income.When I retire, instead of owning my homes outright I plan to cycle taking cash-out refi on them to re-leverage, live tax free on the loans, and let the tenants pay them down again.Regarding debt, If it’s at the same interest rate and terms (and ignoring different potential tax treatment) all debt is the same.

There is also termite presence potentially since treatment was done and other issues that I am thinking will be around 8-10k. 

That's the mark of the bottom.Everything is easy in real estate, there's no magic, it's not like we find cancer drug in biotech industry.For the rest, I am okay in general.

But the treatment after Maria make it clear its going to treated as a last-class part of the US.
