Something like 150,000 people moved here.I think a lot of the growth announcements for the area really haven't materialized yet as well.   

AND materially participating in your rental activities (spending 500 hours or more on your rentals OR 100 hours and more then anyone else OR doing all the work) 

Originally posted by Account Closed:FYI, changing from passive to active actviity, you won't be able to take those passive carryforward losses, until you go back to passive or sell all activities related to the losses.Thanks, Tim.I read in another BP discussion that even if you go back to passive, the grouping of all rental properties still remain.What's considered "material change"  to ungroup?

To precisely assess each property's cash flow potential, a comprehensive financial analysis and due diligence process are necessary.In order to invest in Dallas, one should carry out extensive market research, establish connections with local investors, property managers, and real estate specialists; moreover, one should investigate financing alternatives, investigate possible investment properties, and give careful thought to property management.

Their material is just recycled, not made up.

Even if we were to return 200K, that's still a 15% annualized return, which seems to make pretty good sense to us.Aside from the obvious delays in materials/construction, any feedback?

Or if you can get a 0% interest credit card to purchase materials - I've had to do that in the past and put 70k on two credit cards :-/ Then when the bank finally came through I paid off the CCs. 

Alternatively, you could explore options like cash-out refinancing to access equity while keeping low interest rates and established cash flow, or a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes and reinvest proceeds into a similar property.

You have to remove the effected material or seal it with Killz and other products....regular paint wont do it.

If multi-family isn't hitting the jackpot, explore alternatives like single-family rentals for potentially higher CAP rates, or consider commercial real estate options such as small retail or office spaces.
