Seller said "He is not required to disclose water damage repair done"
8 January 2025 | 27 replies
I am guessing that the vast majority of homes 10+ years old had some sort of water damage at some point, most had probably several.My own home is only a few years old and we had the washer spring a leak and a few years later the RO system in the kitchen started leaking into the cabinet.Seller disclosures are pretty useless in my opinion.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Sorry I only read a fraction of what you just posted … bc damn … lots of unnecessary commentary But I do understand Search volume managing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in google ad spend and seo for major organizations If the volume isn’t high enough than you aren’t going to get meaningful traffic to drive conversionsIf there are 20 people searching per month and 10 convert and they are qualified and that’s all you need then great But the fact that you are screenshotting hundreds of form submissions is suspect and misleading to those who don’t understand hence the reason why I’d love too see your GA Good luck out there Humor me for a second.You come to the forums asking for help on lead generation because obviously, you are not very good at it, hence asking for help.

@Scott Goulet if that's the case and there is no significant difference in occupancy, then my gut tells me that it is not a major factor that guests consider and are willing to pay a premium for.

12 January 2025 | 25 replies
that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Cost Segregation -- What is the true benefit of the accelerated depreciation?
9 January 2025 | 32 replies
Quote from @Bob Dole: All,Apologies for the newb question, but I just heard about cost segregation and have been reading up about it online.My understanding is this (and please correct me where I'm wrong):Pros: -accelerate depreciation, front load (vs. just a straight line over 39 years) -save money on taxes because of the depreciationCons: -if I sell the property, the recapture will be larger -not recommended if you flip propertiesSo hypothetical situation:-Majority of our income is W2 based, let's say it's $500k-Net income from commercial rental is $100k-Income from dividends and interests is $100k-Both of us are full time W2, so non-prof real estate (but this can change -- please see below)So we're hypothetically grossing $700k a year.
