All one really has to do is look at the US Census historical growth patterns and you will see the population explosions in the Texas Triangle which consists of San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Austin on the I35 Corridor.

I can't tell if there is a walkway at the bottom of the steps or if it's just a worn path, but grey pavers done in a herringbone pattern would look pretty of you are painting the house grey. 

Hi Millie, I'd have to understand the entire fact pattern but if they are both being done in the same year you normally would do a 1031 exchange and then do the cost segregation study. 

Taxes, insurance, weather, growth rates, domestic migration patterns, corporate relocations, school rankings, proximity to major airports, regulatory environment, etc. 

**Canton has a notorious paper mill downtown that produces an odor almost 24-7 that usually travels north-east across town unless a weather pattern turns it to the south, but in general, people vacationing here for the lower prices are displeased.

If they didn't do any formatting (not even commas that follow a pattern), then you may need to do some manipulation. 

The biggest reason why for me is it looks like there’s plywood or something that changes the pattern in the floor on the left side of the photo. 

This is not a hard fact pattern.

That may have made them money, but I'm not continuing the pattern.

So...if you're feeling lucky, go for it.However -- based upon the fact pattern presented, the rental real estate activities will be passive in nature and any aggregate net loss will not offset W-2 income.Might be opportunities with short-term rentals such as AirBnB, etc.
