I use to use Quickbooks, I have converted to Buildium for everything.

I called the city and because nothing in the immediate area is zoned residential that it would have a very small chance of being converted into a duplex.  

My partners and I have purchase 2 KMarts, 4 warehouses, 2 mills, and a grocery store that have been converted to Class A Climate Controlled self storage facilities across the southeast, currently $160 million in assets under management at stabilization.

Is there wiggle room here to convert them in a way that would be considered manufactured? 

You could also convert your 401k to a self-directed IRA to invest those funds in additional rentals.You'll need to discuss more about doing all this with the proper professionals, but it is an option.

I think many will slowly be converted to residential (assuming they ever clean up downtown San Fran).

I currently have a 2 family with room to convert the garage into a studio.

Good question mate.Been in the game long enough that I can sell till the "cow's come home" lolOr find a way to convert, monetize, optimize, etc...It's against my ethics so I choose not to.And I've done my fair share of charity and still do to this day.Feeding the poor per seBut I refuse to "Feed" the lazy and ignorant (And wealthy) with free information that took blood, sweat and tears and years to get.I'll let the guru's monetize on such folks with their books, guides and masterminds lol

Question: If we purchase a new primary residence and convert current primary into rental, then would we (married couple filing jointly), be able to sell BOTH homes capital gains tax free on up to $500,000 profit each? 

The conversion from prospect to lead and from lead to contract takes more reps and you are usually converting on less than 0.5% on every campaign.
