The investors all are going to turn it into something else - low income housing , student dorms, self storage, transient housing, drug treatment, etc.  

Hey @Elizabeth Lark,As mentioned in some other responses, one of the superpowers of real estate is its tax treatment, and you are forfeiting powerful strategies when you hold them in a retirement account as you describe.

Its hard to find a perfect spot anywhere in this country. as long as folks move to where the jobs are or where tax treatment is better I think they kind of over look the adverse weather.

I’ve probably have made over $500,000 of errors thus far in REI.  

Hi All - I've seen quite a bit of confusion on the application of the Passive Activity  Loss Rules and Short Term Rentals.  Beyond BP, there is a lot of confusion in the accounting community as well but the same rules...

They called me back and told me they had corrected the error and would serve another notice to the Tenant within 72 hours of the eviction (Sat morning) and it would sstill go thru at the assigned date of Tuesday.Tuesday morning 30 minutes before the eviction,  I was driving to the unit as the Sheriff had instructed me to bring a locksmith the break the lock - in case the tenant had changed them, then change the lock as soon as the Deputies had cleared the unit of people. 

Often times moving too fast with a limited margin for error can be a breeding ground for bad days ahead.

If so, get an attorney to file a complaint at the state board and have an attorney notify their errors and omissions policy. 

Maybe $23k was an accounting error and they meant $2,300 lol. 

Excel is incredibly manual and error-prone, so I went to find a better solution.
