It seems to me you get to deduct losses in full traded against SE tax on ordinary income and no 1031 exchanges if you are a dealer/professional.

have always had a soft spot for NL (and SE CT in general).

The SE has some great markets (the Carolinas, Georgia).

I think our numbers in SE Florida are approaching yours in Colorado, i.e., too rich.

300k is a tough price point for SE Florida but a little further north you hit Brevard county.

And in my mind those properties are only suitable for those that live and work in the community and these assets are a commodity not an investment.. because they are not an investment per se as they never go up in value they go down usually and they are money pits when your in the super cheap ghetto war zones.. good job recognizing this and understanding that properties with hopes of appreciation because of area are to be considered in the full equation of investing in Cash flow rentals were ever that maybe.

I tend to shy away from S/SE Delco.Would be happy to chat some more with you if you'd like via message.

We can discuss if we want to change dates and time then, but I jut hoping for some casual networking (all you can eat food is good too).Hope to Se You All There. 

And so much less expensive in SE Asia..

There's a number of us in SE MI doing a variety of flavors of investing in various areas.
