You have two options to avoid paying back the depreciation expense: 1) sell the building through a 1031 (this allows you to buy larger and larger properties each time without getting hit with capital gains tax or deprecation expense capture back, 2) refinance the property  and cash out your original equity (along with some or all of your appreciated equity you earned from the time of purchase) and use that cash to purchase another property.I intend to use both options in order to achieve my goal of 1,000 units. 

Who's fault is the fine,, yours,, figure out if the whole fence is necessary.. does it add or detract from the property.. what's it hiding.. it's harder to mow around and get trimmed so unless it's worth keeping.. might be time to take it down part or all of it. 

In that situation, you will have to weigh out the benefits of having that cash available to you versus changing the terms ( potentially higher rates/higher payments ) on one or all of those properties.

Note the lath stuck up in the cavities from previous repairs: the guys that rigged the last repair job didn't even carry that out.

Under Massachusetts law, it is illegal to discriminate against someone because the presence of children might trigger a property owner's duties under the lead paint laws or because someone receives a housing subsidy, such as a Section 8 voucher, to pay for some or all of their rent.

If you have the time (and not the money) they you can spend some (or all) of it doing your own research.

@Michael Plaks I'll take a stab Michael...Number 5 may have a wrinkle if a personal CC was used that had a balance beyond $20k, some or all of which is non-business debt.

Should it be formed in TX or AL?

Acceptance of rent constitutes a legally binding ORAL lease agreement.

You don't have an enforceable oral contract for real estate.
