You've got something that looks decent, but the curb appeal is not great outside and it LOOKS like a $3000 trailer.

After all is said and done, they add zero to the visual appeal of a property.

This is a classic case of an HOA that has some vague language in the rules and then has a Board Member who is trying to use the vagueness of the rule to insert her personal aesthetic on the community.

I know this is the best scenario, not the worst , but I seems I could pay off all 3 of these properties in 4 to 5 years, which is very very appealing.

It doesn't have terrific curb appeal...it's just ugly to look at.

Steve: what do you consider the most appealing: holding the RE inside or outside the retirement plan?

Btw,I had one property that I appealed from a tax bill of $4,277 down to $853.

I need to find out the average costs associated with this type of business..As I said I am just kicking around this idea and wanted to get additional input and feedback from anyone who may or may not have experience in this type of venture.Commercial RE is not my Forte and the thought of trying to find a commercial tenant every 5 or so years is not that appealing to me so I Thought if I can turn the space into my own business that kind for the most part run itself it would be a win win situation.I welcome thoughts and or things I may have overlooked.p.s. this business venture assumes the area is good and there is not another similar business nearby.

In my very humble opinion, #1 sounds more personal and approachable- especially if you do the photo like you originally suggested.If I was a distressed seller, I think it would appeal to me to feel like I was going directly to a person instead of a cookie cutter home buyer.Whatever your name choice ends up being I hope it is a successful marketing campaign!

The rate was approximately 28%.That said: That is why you appeal your property taxes.
