location, location, location How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The land value would be your "cost basis" or the value of the property when you bought it.I'm not a tax accountant, but I don't know if you can just "add" the cost of the improvements to the purchase price as those "improvements" probably have their own useful lives (e.g., putting on a new roof) that may be shorter than 27.5 years (or however many years you have left).

In general, no one knows the future, whether to keep a real estate or sell.

Paying for a Section 8 investment course is the equivalent of an aspiring cook paying for a course titled: How To Boil Water

I would focus on analyzing real estate deals so that you will know what constitutes a "deal" to you.  

If you want to stay in your house, then your only option would be to leverage equity which will probably be in the 8-10% interest rate range.Not knowing the entire situation, I think you could consider downsizing and then using the proceeds to buy a 2-4 unit property and start making $40-75K right away with still no debt. 

How did you finance this deal?

how do I PM?
