Years ago I spent many months working in Indianapolis and staying at the Canal Street apartments. 

If it's "not your thing" then you are more likely to screw up, get tired, and watch the entire thing fall apart.

I'm based in the Boise area so we're a little far apart.

Property owners can obtain a cost segregation look-back study on their current property to recalculate the depreciation for previous tax years based on their reclassified assets.CAN I STILL DO A COST SEGREGATION STUDY IF MY CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX IS A SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL?

Their fill hose sprung a leak or something and hundreds of gallons of water poured into the apartment below them.

I have a young married couple who is looking to get their first apartment together to move out of their parents house.
