Investors might as well get rid of everything except C/D class properties and let the tenants run wild.

My Grandparents lived right off of North Ave pretty close to Brookfield and my relatives live out in Pewaukee and Nobobin  (sic)   go back for state fair.. every few years  lots of fond memories.. my Grandfather was a bus driver so I would ride with him on his routes.. that was the 60s some pretty wild times in between the riots etc.   

There is a high likelihood the number that emerges from him will be wildly high and there is further risk that that number will get locked into his thinking.  

I know this other wild and crazy bartender/radio host/musician. 

It's like the wild west of low quality people.

Don't forget the wild card of President Trump closing the southern border some other nutty trade policy.

As you mentioned any "unused" depreciation carries forward and time value of money suggest that it's better to offset as much income as soon as possible.Sure, your client had a $1MM year, but does her income swing so wildly that it makes sense to keep depreciation "in her back pocket?"

Most banks will finance apartments, but the terms you get will vary wildly. 

I would assume it varies wildly - one property is probably super easy to manage, 10 is probably time consuming, and more than that probably becomes easier again in some ways, because you can reasonably outsource just about everything.

Sounds like political life where you are - is as wild as it is here...you must feel right at home!
