@Trey McGovern, Sec. 121 - live in a property you own for two out of the previous 5 year period and you can receive the first 250K (500K if married) in profit tax free (depreciation not taken so not a factor)Sec. 1031 - Sell an investment property replace it with more investment property and defer all tax (not eliminate) including depreciation Tax free is a pretty big trump card to have.

It's crazy... we have the greatest source of unlimited free fresh water.It's all infrastructure expense... paying for the sins of our (political) fathers.I am hopeful that sewer infrastrucure will one day become a Trump initiative.

Trump likes to keep a financial incentive tied to real estate... also good for Section 8 as long as he doesn't cut funds or reduce the eligibility...My other last item is section 8 properties have a bad reputation for a reason... typically the lower strata on the social economic ladder are rough on their living spaces, so repair costs will be high and you'll have a hard time recouping damages...

Real Estate Investment ClassesEven Trump University does not guarantee. $1,500 to $35,000 on real estate investments. $20,000 tuition appears to be on the medium side.

I think getting Obama and Trump to dance a waltz together would be more feasible.

I think that in a standard recession - maybe not one brought about by Donald Trump running this country into the ground, I hasten to say - cities like Dallas, Tampa, and Phoenix are not at risk for a meltdown.

There is a mentality of greed, @David Smit that I believe exists and I tire easily of hearing of the exploits of the Donald Trumps in the world.

I'll add my favorite quote: "If you are a real estate investor, you should not be paying any taxes, just like Donald Trump." 

Guessing it's something along the same lines as Trump University.
