One simple planning devise most do in their estate plans is to combine the estate tax exemption for each spouse in a trust (called an A/B trust).

It’s a B area (my opinion), 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath.

I have rentals in A/B neighborhoods as well as C/D, the money looks the same and tenants are a pain. 

(A = The Seller, B = the Investor Buyer and C = the End Buyer) The process will go like this:Day 1: C Buyer Wires funds into escrow for B-CDay 1: B Buyer wires their funds into escrow for A-BDay 2: A-B records the conveyance with the countyDay 3: B-C records the conveyance with the countyDay 3 or 4: Disbursements happen on Day 3 or 4, depending on when we get recording confirmation for the B-C transactionI thank you in advance for your recommendations!

I have a tax question regarding the exit of 1 of 3 partners from a real estate partnership and would really appreciate any input:ABC Realty (a general partnership) has 3 equal equity partners (A, B & C).

Shorthand currently for the twin cities pricing is projected rents times 1.1 (A/B class suburban good area Wayzata, Prior Lake, White Bear Woodbury types), (1 B/C class good area but surrounded by bad), (.9 C/D class poor areas), (.8 D class areas you wouldn't bring you mom to see the house this could be even less)  after multiplying by the above numbers multiple by 100. 

If you don’t have funding for the ab transaction you can use doubleclose.com for cheap transactional funding.

This is in Irving Park Chicago Illinois, which I would classify as a B-level area that has been improving a lot in the last few years.

I was acquiring mostly 100+ unit Class A/B properties. 

Where else can you buy a property for $100k in a B class area that gives you 17% cash on cash returns?
