Sacramento has been a consistent and stable market, still cheap enough for new investors to get in while offering meaningful returns.A few of my investors are in the same boat, looking to "hack" small multifamily as a first step to build their portfolios. 

We believe in the power of networking and learning from others, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share a similar drive for success.We understand that success in real estate is not a solo journey, and are excited to forge meaningful connections within this community.

I use the accrual basis of accounting.Second, and this gets to gist of the matter, in QuickBooks I am using the account type called Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to produce Profit & Loss Statements in a format that is more meaningful to me. 

If I have to pay taxes of 40% on cash flow but nothing on the appreciation (even extracted appreciation), then the cash flow only provides 60% value compared to the value achieved from appreciation.

It brings in a great amount of CoC, but the fundamentals of the area mean that cashflow will likely not increase by any meaningful number in the future.

Any law firm with a meaningful estate practice should be able to come up with the answer.

This question is a strategic financial question having to do with investment alternatives, and is specific to you... so actually isn't a question that anyone can answer meaningfully for you.All else being equal, I woud'nt even consider it until if/when you've reached a point in your life where you do not plan do anymore deals. 

Leaving the inspection appointment, I should pretty much have a finalized scope of work and renovation estimate (if there were any meaningful changes from initial walkthrough estimates). 

I legally extract everything I can from the trashers and I get and renew judgements, to warn others about them.When my brother and I were young investors we made the mistake of doing business in a war zone and our "rent enforcers' were very effective, so we didn't lose money.

I am an aspiring investor, and here to learn, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.
