You’re looking at turning a $500k gain from tax free to a tax bill in excess of $125k.

Maybe my analogy was too restricted for all viewers, so try this one… Have you ever tried Telling a fat person that they are fat?

Well, fortunately they didn't listen to me, sold at a fat profit and bought a house in Boca Raton. 

(A) Any security deposit in excess of fifty dollars or one month's periodic rent, whichever is greater, shall bear interest on the excess at the rate of five per cent per annum if the tenant remains in possession of the premises for six months or more, and shall be computed and paid annually by the landlord to the tenant."

Full of fat promises, does not deliver on any of them.

It seems big fat checks help overcome some objections, but not all deals are big profits. 

Following Mark's program, I replaced my executive income in 17 months and 3 days.In 2015, I completed 68 sales, in 2016, we have already completed 160+ deals and over the summer we closed on a $800,000 bulk deal worth in excess of $3,200,000. 

The irony in most cases is those who spend excessively for complexed entity structures can't even articulate what they are protecting against and operate the underlying businesses recklessly (improper insurance, inadequate or no contracts etc.) and end up in trouble anyway.

please do note fannie mae doesn't allow excess rent income more than DSCR 1.0 for primary house so you can't offset excess income for next primary or to reduce DTI so if you can plan it ahead carefully this could be the most profitable approach with the least risk possible. 

Explain that while you understand kids need to play, the scooter riding inside the apartment is causing excessive noise and could potentially damage the floors.
