I am looking at some  properties to purchase and was wondering if the amount of depreciation claimed changes if I bought the property in say the 3rd quarter of the year versus the 1st.  

In the end it took 100k off my tax basis which is still a large increase but I can afford it without having to sell and it gives me a huge equity boost so my quarter million dollar house is now a half million dollar house but it being taxed at 400k which was bound to happen sooner or later.thanks everyone for the help! 

I include language in my lease allowing me to change the furnace filters (with 24 hour notice) which allows me to enter each of my rentals once a quarter. 

@David M.The better managed funds will have audited financial statements and typically also submit semi annual or quarterly reports.Those that go regulation a+ also have to submit to the sec so their information is all public.Like anything, some private are better than public and vice versa, really comes down to the sponsor/CEO and the team in the majority of instances.

If each of my contractors charged me $500 every time they pulled a permit, I'd have spent probably close to a quarter million dollars for contractor pulling permits over the past 8 years.Considering a typical permit costs about $50 and takes about 20 minutes of time (let's call it 60 minutes if you add in the extra driving time), that's means I should be paying no more than $100 to have a permit pulled -- the $50 for the permit and then up to about $50 for the contractor's time. 

A poor paint job will make the whole house look bad.I have not painted in a decade, but was in a pickle not long ago: Home Depot had screwed up the paint order for our contractor (new guy) and my White Clay color had a salmon-pink tone to it.

They can implement or may already have rules like no rental signs, HOA needs to approve any application (but they might only meet quarterly), no pets for tenants, owner must live in the house for 1-2 years before renting, no leases less than a year, limit on # of rentals, and more.   

SponsorNetwork will provide you with VIP access to exclusive, in-person real estate events held quarterly across major markets.

Add to this, despite the horrible "recession" everyone has mentioned, airbnb and VRBO continue to set monthly and quarterly records in overall growth and market cap.

I was hoping to see quarterly, or at least a year end, financial statement.
