I believe that margin is really the important part, so taking that tax shield into your calculations gives you absolute clarity that could enable you to offer just a smidge more to close a deal.That's my theory anyway...

Based on what you wrote, I believe you have two primary goals.A dependable passive income that outpaces inflation and you will not outlive.Equity accumulation to enable additional investment property purchases minimizing the total capital required.If these are your goals, I recommend following the process illustrated below.In this post, I will only discuss location selection.

If another record is found the system automatically notifies the lender through an alert to delay pending further investigation.Most importantly, the tool retrieves the information allowing users to identify the entity or entities perpetrating the potential fraud.It can be used to screen already closed short sale transactions enabling the lender to continue to watch the property for a period of time and generates an alert for any subsequent loan closed on the property, the original short-sale lender and the resale lender.Moreover, it provides post-closing alert notifications, reviews of sale terms for violations, and alerts the new lender about potential for fraud in the dual transactions.Retrospective short-sale analysis helps detect fraud, assess pricing-method accuracy and pinpoint problematic areas to avert future losses.

This enabled me to purchase 5 deals over the last 1.5 years.

Setting up keyword alerts for your area will enable you to be notified whenever someone mentions the keyword you chose.

In addition to enabling BP members to view the timestamp on posts in our local time, it would allow everyone to have email notifications waiting for them at breakfast regardless of where in the world they are having breakfast :)

I have also only had one problem with noise and my neighbors were quick to let me know.I use an exterior camera system that I can tell if there is more people than what is allowed.I imagine there may be a wifi enabled sound meter/device that can alert you if sound is over a certain dB level, but have never had the need to look into this.I also get a copy of the renters drivers license so I know who I am renting to.I also have a minimum age requirement that helps weed out a younger group that might be more inclined to be single and throwing noisy parties.

A real estate sales license does not enable that licensee in CA to create or facilitate loan docs.Lastly, what if the buyer fails to perform, causes damage to the home, and you end up going over a year without monthly payments (which in CA can easily take place, ask me how I know!).

This will enable you to take full advantage of the tax benefits and strategies for RE.
