Just curious, if you had made that much just this year, why not continue to invest in the market which you seem to know a bit about, instead of entering a seemingly new territory (real estate)?

It just comes with the territory and I truly believe all these problems can be avoided with good tenant screening and reading out the entire lease to the tenant during the lease signing.

Some markets are already past the peak and in speculation territory.

That is a territory I avoid. 

I'm just saying.Terry, Baltimore is a territory that I cover and I was wondering what the market is like out here as I sit in an Inner Harbor Hotel.

I've purchase a handful of tax sale properties and done fairly well, but this is new territory for me.  

Now obviously I could ask the Title Insurance itself, but given the lack of experience in the matters I could be swayed into potentially costly territory later.

And, if the capital gain pushes her into AMT territory, she loses some favorable tax deductions and her depreciation allowances are reduced.I am also saying that IF the seller had the properties in service as rentals, then there will be unrecaptured depreciation that will be taxed at 25%.Yes, I am saying that the best tax outcome for the seller and for her heirs is most likely not to sell at all.

This is unfamiliar territory for me so any help would be very much appreciated!  

Besides I don't like the fact of being "restricted" to territory/population the way that franchises do.
