@Sam Dal Passive activity gains, such as those from a sold multi-family investment, can only be offset by passive losses, including accumulated ones from prior years.

These risks include, but are not limited to, lack of liquidity, limited transferability, conflicts of interest and real estate fluctuations based upon a number of factors, which may include changes in interest rates, laws, operating expenses, insurance costs and tenant turnover.Investors should also understand all fees associated with a particular investment and how those fees could affect the overall performance of the investment.

Our business plan actually includes rehabbing distressed properties and conducting off-market transactions with owners currently occupying distressed properties using equity to reduce the out of pocket costs for the seller/buyer and to simplify the process.

You might be referring to income / expenses that are reflected by cash.Cash you receive from rentsExpenses that you pay out such as insurance, interest, taxes, etc.You may not have included depreciation expense which would bring your taxable income down further.It may be possible that the negative taxable income would bring your taxable income down.

It's a simple way to gauge the condition of the building's main sewer line.Unfortunately fraudulent rental applications are more common than one would think so good on you for catching that.

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

(Some have argued that the actions of the Obama administration were illegal taking.)The main problem with having it controlled by the government is that it has been, and will continue to be used for political purposes, right or left, depending on the administration.I'd rather see it outside government control.

These include accidents (I recently had 2 units destroyed by fire), natural disasters (I have had two units each hit by 2 hurricanes), property management turn over (they sell or stop being as good, I have experienced both), or turn over of team (I am turning over at handyman and I suspect plumber), or just wear n tear of property (slab leak in poor location, sewer pipes rotted out (one unit this month), roof, foundation issue, etc.).  

You will truly be raising the clock, as each day will cost you very significant money.  12% interest on $250k is $2500/mo, or about $80 per day in interest, not including your other carrying costs (utilities, property taxes, insurance, HOA). 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
