I’ve been listening to the podcast for about four years now .I just decided to step it up and be active on the forms as well as upgraded to pro and I’ve been using the calculators on daily basis and it’s been amazing .I live in North Hollywood, California and I have four rental properties in Kansas City, Missouri.I am to grow my portfolio with cash, flowing assets and open for partnerships.I am a General contractor here in California, having a lot of experience with the building  procedures as well as good couple hundred thousand in cash ready to invest, looking for good opportunities, and tired of standing on the sidelines.Thank you for this awesome community!

Accounting firms typically have nothing to do with this process unless somehow the title company subcontracted the preparation of the 8288 to them (which really isn’t necessary as it doesn’t require tax expertise, only familiarity with the FIRPTA procedures in general, which any title co who’s worked with a sale by a foreign person would likely know).This is indeed a weird situation and it definitely is unsupported by any authority in the code and regulations to send the withholding tax amount to an accounting firm acting as a middle man for the IRS unless they somehow expressly made an agreement to do so.Good luck with that

In the middle of those two extremes might be a small business with 3 years left on their lease, but they've made improvements to the property that aren't cheap to remove, such as perhaps a dental office (dentists might be pissed that I put them in the mid-risk category, but all the dentists going out of business in 2020-2021 taught us that American consumers apparently regard dental care as an optional and "luxury" spending item). 

The process included one eviction, a procedure RCA is well versed in, taking roughly 2.5 months in Connecticut.The value-add process resulted in a ~60% increase in NOI from ~$74K at purchase to ~$118K on a run-rate basis after 7 months.

As we discussed, the next procedural steps would be to get a pre-approval from one of our recommended lenders, then we can work together to identify some specific properties that fit your investment criteria and get you started!
