The anti-section 8 crowd here is absolutely disgusting, and I am proud of our county standing up against this needless discrimination. 

I don't know why I'm anti-government intervention. 

I can let you know if it's ever been inspected and what to look out for.MA real estate laws say that you can't rent to a family with kids under 7 unless you have a lead certificate on file with the state and the anti-discrimination laws say you can't not rent to a family because they have a kid under 7 (even if it's because you know there's lead paint), so they basically made it so that any rental with more then 1 bedroom has to be deleaded.

And here is the reality:$600k is the total depreciation over the 28-yr lifetime of Paul's properties, times the inflated 40% tax ratethis total depreciation would've been taken over 28 years either way, with or without cost segregation; cost segregation only shifts more of it towards the first 5 yearsthe actual tax savings for Paul were $35k for this year, with another $55k coming over the next 3 years (your mileage will vary)if he sells his properties, as opposed to 1031 exchange, he will have to return all these savings to the IRS at the time of saleSo, am I just anti-cost-segregation, you would ask?

Hey Andy, by seasoned, I mean you most likely will want to hold 90+ days prior to putting under contract to the end buyer (fha anti flip requirement)If you end up wholesaling it, please let me know.

Dude basically bankrolled half of the anti-rent control side of a recent city ballot initiative campaign.

Our professional approach and almost 20 year history gave us an edge over the unintentional landlords sitting on an empty homes they’d moved from.Ironically, our State’s anti-growth policies combined with a hyperactive business climate have forced extreme appreciation and rent growth throughout our region.  

Less work, and if your roommate is a meth head youre not restricted by the Anti-landlord Seattle/Landlord tenannt laws.

HUD will not sell you the home directly.... special sales forms, special HUD access key, etc.Another potential stumbling block are anti-flipping guidelines that would limit potential buyers who are getting a loan from getting their appraisal to go through.My suggestion is to make $$$ on HUD's like this (round numbers used... works at any price range):1) Buy a HUD home for $70K for cash2) spend $5K on carpet, paint, appliances, etc.3) Lease/option sell the home to a tenant/buyer... get as much option $$ as possible.4) Then get a 80% loan to value investor loan on the property 5) Smile!...

No, most of us who are correctly calling out California for it's anti-business and anti-landlord policies are from Cali and moved away.
