The repair guy felt it was the transmission (burning rubber smell, no spinning). 

That would have to be your call after finding out more information.Right now it might be a good idea to talk to a few local realtors who have been in the business for a while and see what they have to say is going on in your market right now (remembering they will make a profit only if you buy).Every area is different, and ever investor has different goals.Also talk to some local investors who have been at it in the area for a while and get their spin on what's going on in the area.Before Covid meetup.com was a good source of local investor meetings, now (???).

What positive spin do developers and realtors get out of the article?

I was hoping to get some thoughts on the tax implications of inheriting property and how to spin that (if that's the right way to put it) to a potential seller.

Or, we hear the same message with a slightly different "accent", "different spin", or "different example" and it makes all the difference in the world.An example of this is how many times do we agents and EVERYONE on BP recommend to take professional pictures when listing your property on the MLS, Airbnb, VRBO, etc? 

A discussion on the fastest appreciating markets in town would be a very different one, but hopefully this gives a more empirical spin on the conversation.

Much rather deal with 5 homeowners than inspectors, engineers, ordinances the seller's attorney.SFDs are marketable as your depreciation results in less tax benefits in about 7/8/9 years, you can spin them off easily and reinvest at a new basis, still using equity if you want to.

(We have four kids and our own business so we are spinning a lot of plates.) 

I am very dedicated, very business minded/orientated (my mind is always spinning with ideas and ways to improve), but most of all, I am a great learner...

Sure, anyone could cherry pick data and spin a story for why something is better than something else.
