I'm out of state so it was kind of a gamble for me to hire them, but they've been great. 

paying recapture is the most NON talked about event on BP or in real estate.. and why when folks talk about buying for only cash flow and appreciation IE speculation or gambling those folks totally miss the point and do not have a full picture of the Lifecyle of a real estate investment.. if you have NO appreciation your recapture tax is going to eat into your IRR in a negative manner.and for a lot of folks to 1031 one little house with 20k coming out of it is hard to do.. since the house never went up.. the other thing is people that say they are buy and hold forever.. this rarely happens.. life happens life changes.. and so 7 to 10 years down the track MOST folks unless they have decided to make it their lifes work IE be a full time professional landlord.. they sell .and then that pesky recapture they never knew about or thought about bites them .. :) 

There are those who would say that investing for appreciation is either speculating or gambling, not investing.

I can also provide my UK history too if they find it helpful

A blue chip dividend growth stock say Proctor and Gamble will have a lower PE ratio, say 15, that might be the equivalent of slow steady appreciation, but no real price appreciation. 

One is from the UK, the other is from Ireland.

It’s till a good market to get started in.Are you looking to invest in rental houses, or do you want to gamble on fix and flips?

By Day 40, had anyone called the tenant's place of work supposedly inquiring about collecting on the tenant's outsized gambling debts?

@Evan Tan, I do believe gambling winnings are taxable and paying income tax on it would give you documentable income which you need to get financing. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419

Gamble and play the odds in Vegas, but not in business.
