Many so-called "income properties" don't produce nearly the kinds of returns we see advertised on the internet. 

What is oaklands 'base year' for determining a 'fair return' under rent control?

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

@Sean Conroy, this really depends on two things: first, the land zoned in a way that you can subdivide and build more units (question for building/zoning department) and second, financial returns on doing this versus using the capital to buy.New construction certainly has its advantages on the operating side, and can often get a premium to remodeled, older units.  

Their product was deemed an essential service and the preferred return would be cumulative.

Congrats on the new MTR operation.I don't like the idea of putting in what may be a relatively high-cost and low-return piece of equipment in your unit. 

This transactional lender puts $40k in the pot (for some return which I am curious what they were promised) to get it back at closing as part of seller/lender#2 financing.At closing the first lets say is owed $50,000 so the $70k covers the first balance and closing costs.

I'm curious to see what the actual return is after five years.

I started last year and have completed three successful projects with 30% returns before tax within 3-6 months.

To me it seems like an incredible pairing, someone who knows and understands to tools available and has the professional ability to leverage those tools not just for tax returns BUT also for tax planning and strategy.I'm a Stessa Pro member and in talking with the pro support team they do not have any preferred CPAs/vendors at this time.Does anyone know of CPAs who know the system?
