A few years down the line, they were surprised by California's tax bill due to the state's clawback provision.

I'd be surprised if there was anything substantially more than this that took place, and I'd be shocked if it caused anything to change for 2025, only 2026 onwards (for major things that is).Which is exactly what I call guessing  ;) 

I don't want to be surprised though as I go to buy additional properties just to have them say that I'm taking on too much debt even though my income can support it so long as I continue taking in rental income.  

Additionally, you may just want to ask your tenant to be mindful of the other residents by using some form of air freshener or scented candles etc. you would be surprised what a conversation can do, maybe you'll get a more favorable result.Best Chris

I will not be surprised if a class action lawsuit gets filed again the building company and unfortunately Wagner because he is not playing the role that he should be playing.  

You have found a market out-of-state and have talked to an investor-friendly Realtor you met on Facebook that seems to check a lot of boxes for you and your goals.You worry about making a good choice and how to complete your due diligence on this agent and opportunity.All of my out-of-state buyers buy without ever having seen the property in person but I know they will at some point and want them to have a good experience so I frequently do FaceTime walkthroughs with them before buying and use a very comprehensive property inspector to avoid surprises.

I get calls weekly from assignors across the country who are surprised that I don't have any interest in their retail deals. 

However, a surprise occurred with title that drove up our acquisition cost to almost $120k.

Sometimes I will hear back months later in DM, which is a nice surprise. 

I was surprised at that.
