But it does happen with immigrants who do not speak English and are reliant on third parties to translate and sign things for them.

I do agree it's probably next to impossible to alter politics or the big players running the show, I just want to educate people on these things because they will have an affect on our future whether we like it or not.

Currently I have a 50k budget for Down payment, closing costs, and reserves, so I wouldn't be able to make big alterations just yet.

Assuming you hire an accountant, they will translate the total expense to an annual depreciated amount.

At a 6 cap, that translates into a $1m increase in FMV of the property ($60K/.06 = $1m) !
