Amarillo, actually.  1960’s build, nice area, but a family trade thing I never particularly wanted.  

Birmingham has affordable properties but if you have to evict, the delay for sheriff's deputies to execute the turnout order is usually 6-12 months.

.- determine allocation of my last accelerated depreciation allowance and execute it.  

@Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.Arn

I was frustrated interviewing professionals to find out I often knew more than they did (specific to real estate) only because I am always reading and continuing to learn my trade to the best of my ability.  

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

I'm an accountant by trade.

Note, I speak of this as an immigrant household.To expand on #3; international trade is good.

My jack of all trades gets $25.
