Hi there, I have linked the PM locator tool produced by NARPM which is an excellent place to start!

If you did a cost segregation study on the property in the past, you may have to recapture the depreciation taken in the past.capital gain tax rates are 0, 15 or 20%There is also a potential 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax.Also, don't forget state income taxes depending on what state the property is located or your state of residency.Best of luck!

You'll want to have your rehab completed prior to the balloon coming due.

For me and my wife we are focusing on building out an ADU in our backyard as we are within a couple minute walk of the new Bethel Campus location.

The problem, other than this going against my philosophy of keeping everything passive, is I don’t think I’ll be able to get into the property to walk the inside prior to purchase and have no clue what I’m getting into.

Hello,I bought a duplex in Pensacola $75,000 under appraised value, in an amazing location.

Would it generally be a location that tends to have a higher cost of living? 

You could tell them to cancel the listing and you will find someone else to list it after a month not 4 months (the market take is subjective too, all dependent on what your house has compared to others, where it is located, the size of it, and so many other factors).

Location, location, location.
