I'd encourage you to also set up some keyword alerts for "Hartford" and related terms like house-hacking, duplexes, etc.

They don't assign much, if any, difference in value for a 10 year old shingled roof versus a 20 year old one. 

Since most real estate purchase agreements do not assign value to each category, taxpayers must understand what options are available to determine the appropriate allocation to land and building.Taxpayers are required to separately identify the value of non-depreciable items (i.e., land) from the depreciable building and site improvements.

Jack,since you run Gelt and do private lending, think of being in first position on a loan with a private lender and that lender just randomly assigns the loan to someone else without advising you.

That way you're not locked into the deal without getting an estimate and if the rehab budget comes in higher than $65k you can easily walk away- make sure the assignment says EMD is refundable if you do decide to walk.The 70% rule is a great rule of thumb.

@Theresa Hansen If you do some searching with keywords on here you will find loads of conversations with recommendations. 

Too many new investors blindly copy due diligence checklists from the internet, assign equal importance to each item and blow up deals over nothing.

I have a property under contact in Charlotte that I'm assigning to a cash buyer & he's going to see the property today & I'm not in Charlotte today.

As you look to build your business, consider setting up some keyword alerts for topics like: - 1031- Tax Deferred Gains- Boot- Exchange- Like-Kind- Etc. 

If you mention where you are investing, and the people you want to meet, they may have keywords set up, and get alerted to your post!
