Higher end homes need less of their owners and landlords.

Needless to say we purchased in 05 and lost all of them by mid 07.

Needless to say, I didn’t bother carrying on the conversation much further after that.

Needless to say the seller didn't want to reduce price or pay almost 150k to replace remaining systems so we cancelled the deal. 

Needless to say, it is not pleasant, hurtful to everyone involved, and just an overall mess.

If you repair any house the right way it will need less repairs, depending on the tenant of course.

IT WAS NOT A RECOMMENDATIONI was merely pointing out that the tax code will allow you to pay more in taxes if you want to.I take responsibility and apologize for making a valueless point and needlessly diverting the conversation, but if you go back and reread my previous posts I think it was pretty clear I was not making a recommendation.Great Googly Moogly.  

Needless to say, that has costs associated with it: salary, employee taxes (SUTA, FUTA, FICA, etc.), benefits, infrastructure, and more.Are you offering to fund the effort?

If I need less, I'm not stealing from my income. 

Needless to say I have a lot of interest in renting but I need to get my cash out of the two houses under construction and create comps for future sales.
