When transferring real estate as a gift, it does not receive a step-up basis, as it does when it has been inherited.

Hey Colin, it’s fantastic to see someone your age diving right into the real estate world.. reminds me of when a buddy of mine bought his first duplex in Omaha.

@Sean Michael San Diego's real estate market can be a tough call for renters vs. buyers! 

Finding the actual cash buyer who is legit and real is the hard part.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I just do not understand the need to add "benefits" to the programs  that are just not real. 

So, in actuality the divide between “good” PMs and “bad” ones is probably no different than any other service provider, be it real estate broker, mortgage originator, etc.The key word I has in my sentence was MAY; as in MAY be hazardous to your financial health.  

This experience will help you prepare for more complex real estate deals in the future.

I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals.

Then I would seek a legal consultation from a real estate attorney to assist in evicting them if they will not leave (we have a few great attorneys we work with in the area).
