Hello Everyone!
I have just started my real estate venture and am currently looking for my first property.  Our agent recommended a lender she works with often who she has been adding to communications with local pro...

One last point - you typically do not want to make a C-election for rental real estate because you will give up LTCG treatment and the loss benefit of real estate investments.

Hi @Shafi Noss,I'm not a CPA, but my understanding is the appreciation realized on sale of a property are capital gains that are passed through to the LPs and subject to the same capital gains treatment as stock sale gains (as an example).One other thing to keep in mind is that any depreciation realized during the investment (including the accelerated depreciation we all love so much) is deferred, and will be used to lower your tax basis which can also increase the capital gains you show (unless you're rolling into a 1031, of course).Hope that helps.

You might run into some ethical issues because they will ask if you plan on living in the house for at least a year (I think - just did a VAIRRL myself), which you may or may not be doing.Also, I understand what others are saying, that 0.5% might not be enough, but $100 a month isn’t insignificant.

Maybe say it works best of you do a bunch of enemas while you're taking it over a two-week treatment period.Oh, come on!

EXACTLY.Some of us (ethical marketers) have been speaking ou tloud telling others that those shady forms of marketing is CRAP!"

That way I’ll feel more confident.My main concern was how to handle one of these high equity properties ethically in the case that one agrees to sell.
