@Courtney HamiltonI have found that my rental listings are no longer Auto pushed to Zillow even though Zillow generates by far the most traffic for a rental listing almost 70% of the leads are from ZillowWhen you do your market analysis I would highly recommend pricing your property $50 below your competition because best products and best price equals the best tenant.

Just work your tenant leads, find the best one, screen & lease them, and you're on your way. 

The fix-up/lease-up process raises the NOI and ultimately forces a higher property value, leading to a cash-out refi within the 5-year term. 

Purchase price: $120,000 Cash invested: $25,000Our latest Flip, this was a pre- foreclosure lead.

The tax advantages of buying/holding gas stations are pretty great.Many of the components of gas stations including pumps, tanks, external parking areas, and other equipment are classified as either 5 or 15 year property so you can bonus depreciate a lot of it (minus the land value) and get significant deductions in year 1.With the current bonus depreciation rate at 60%, a $1 million gas station acquisition could still lead to $100K+ in year 1 deductions depending on the specifics of your deal.

However, as others have mentioned, it’s not common for tax professionals to review just one form, like the 8824, without seeing your entire tax situation.1031 exchanges can get complicated, and reviewing only part of the process might lead to errors or missed details.

I've had negative experiences with a bad general contractor and a non-paying renter (leading to an eviction), so I'm being extra cautious in selecting the right lender this time.Could anyone recommend a trustworthy lender in the Los Angeles area who can guide me through this difficult time?
