My companies are in LLCs and those LLCs = me when it comes to tax returns.Once you have a large portfolio of properties, there are simply too many deductions (even if it's just depreciation, which becomes an enormous number).   

The 1 year return won't be great, and there isn't enormous upside with the location that makes me think it will boom.

Your COI is enormous and if marketed correctly and will reap tremendous rewards.Free and Clear / Equity Owners - I love free and clear prospects, especially in today's market where so many people are upside down.

Cold calling is the least expensive, but you need an enormous amount of grit to make 1,000 calls, get 950 hang-ups, 20 conversations, 4 appointments and one sale.You can try calling FSBOs and developing a tactic for that.

It makes an enormous difference.
