Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, interest on such loans is typically deductible if used for buying, building, or substantially improving the taxpayer's home that secures the loan.

On the management side easily I get exponential quality and have been able to move my management into a proactive phase rather than reactive (I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off my first two years in real estate!)

Not the smartest move by the seller, but it cuts down on buyer competition, which is in your favor. include something like this: Offer is contingent on buyer walk through of the entire property within 3 days of acceptance to buyers satisfaction, otherwise buyer may declare this offer is null and void via written notice within 5 days after AO. 

Sorry to those that were cut out, as my long arms weren’t quite long enough to get everyone :)I think we will be creating a sign up for the next one.

Along with supply demand which is an integral component of real estate investing ..

Key components in risk are demand, population growth, wage growth, market stability.

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

If I had a preference, I would go with mortgages but I also cut my teeth on CFD's and did very well with them, they are just more work.

So, that limits up front communication except cut and paste responses about when the next open house is scheduled.

So many others are cutting corners on this and who knows what else!
