Sure it can be a write off, but my question is if it is the highest and best use of your time (or the given employees time) to be running a skid steer - transporting it, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc, and if it still makes sense if you need to hire someone to run it for you and take care of the other things.Add up all those recurring costs - maintaining the machine, maintaining the trailer, having a large enough truck to tow it, insurance and registration for all of the above, your time or your employees time related to all of the above...even at $14k a year it might be attractive enough to keep paying that and having them drop it off at the job site for you.A brand new machine could easily cost you over 6 figures - that's 7 years of rentals at $14k/year before including all the holding costs. 

What makes NJ good is being in areas with favorable land lording laws and proximity to transportation/NYC. 

New York and Boston have had a really strong year.

Just because some wealthy people invest in something doesn't make it a sure thing: Conoco, Boston Globe, Flooz.com (another digital currency), Time Warner, are just some examples where very wealthy investors bought into something that went south. 

Closeness to transportation is always better, but that is a tradeoff too.

I live in Boston and the syndication is located near Pittsburgh.

Hi and thanks, it looks like you are in boston however?

I stress that these are 100% third-party independent deals, I get no commission or referral fees, they are simply big enough deals that there is plenty of space for other people, so it costs me nothing to share the done due diligence.Over the last month, a group of us have been doing due diligence on Zero New Boston (https://lnkd.in/g5bdR56v), Woburn, MA.

We personally always stay at a Disney resort due to the simplicity of the Disney transportation system and park hoping.That said there are many people that want to save a buck or stay in a bigger place so that all their family and friends can be with them.

Tricky, to get people to move in, it would need to be accessible to transportation, town...but the city has not accepted them so much legally as a living space.
