For more complicated reasons, selling is a very difficult and emotional proposition.

I was "lucky" enough to be in the process of a job transfer from the San Francisco area to Houston TX in the midst of the proposition 13 election in '78.

I don’t mind handling the management, but I’m sure there are others who are much more astute at helping in a proposition as this. 

. - interesting that they didn't want to consider your proposition. 

This is a big concern for me because I currently pay lower taxes due to the proposition, but I do not want to have the whole property reassessed for value. 2.

I'd hazard to guess there are people that will buy in places like San Francisco, be content with a "break even" cash-flow proposition, and believe they will make their money on mortgage pay down (building equity) and appreciation.  

You will have to search areas outside major metros since those are being gobbled up by large investment firms but finding a privately owned and not terribly well maintained multi family should be an easier proposition than trying to jump in and using Hotels or Office Space as your starting point!

I’m in the middle of reading Coons Asset Protection book right now.It seems his value proposition is highest from the standpoint of him being teamed up with the guys formerly under BossOffice for comprehensive asset protection/tax planning.I haven’t seen that they make available any of their templates.Lastly, Randy Hughes sells his info packages from his site that look to be just as comprehensive as Warda’s for $400-$700.

What is you Value Proposition to the seller? 

A lease payment of $320 is a losing proposition if your going al is to become wealthy.
