As you know, the market is pretty crazy here near Boston and I am a picky guy with neighborhoods and level of turnkey-ness and floor layouts, etc. 

@Samuel Ness  Couple places to look: county assessor for sale history, agent for any past MLS activity, county building inspector to see what plans/permits they might have on file, register of deeds for mortage & lien history.

Hey @Ryan Ness, this is awesome!

You just heard from @Linda Weygant , A CPA, I have my properties all under different llc's and all my taxes go through my CPA, i have never paid self employment tax, because it is considered a Passive income as Linda said. my Construction business is different, that i pay self employment tax because i am actively involved in it, my PM takes care of my properties and i just oversee them. look at Publication 527Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss From BusinessGenerally, Schedule C is used when you pro-vide substantial services in conjunction with the property or the rental is part of a trade or busi-ness as a real estate dealer.Providing substantial services.

Because of its back asswards-ness, and the way this country is going... it's likely to pass lol
