The ILA is North America’s largest longshoremen’s union, with roughly 50,000 of its 85,000 members making good on the threat to strike at 14 major ports subject to a just-expired master contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, or USMX, and picketing workers beginning to appear at ports.I have been reading that if the strike drags on, we can expect some shortages on perishable items that the US imports.One of those is bananas; the US imports 100% of its supply.

Once you’ve got some experience and equity built up, you can more confidently move into multifamily properties when the right one comes along.That said, if your goal is to scale into multifamily, don't lose sight of that.

Assuming you are in the 22% - 24% federal tax bracket for most of your income, your tax would be about $76,000(disregarding standard/itemized deducitons and other income).If you can somehow show rental losses = $300,000, you would get a refund of her federal taxes and potentially state taxes also.

I'd much rather read concrete stats and newsworthy items, but instead met with what seems like a covert shill.

@Rajiv: Have you seen a sheet that is good to maintain your month by month property management items 

Should have either built or raised rents.3. 

I'm about to buy to 4/3 home that's 2,300 sq ft, built in 1967 and want an experienced real estate investor to evaluate whether it's a good deal.Please comment below if I can pay you for 1 hour of your time to analyze it.I have full photos/video walkthrough, and also have several contractor quotes.

I have the ability to get these units built at very favorable costs and there are no real comps I can find so I am at a loss for planning my development strategy with regards to the size of loan I could reasonably get.This will be my first project and my partner's third but he self-financed the two others.

Are you sure its a true log home and isn't just a stick built home with log siding and tongue and groove on the inside?
