I have a few nonprofits in mind (ATL Mission, Dress for Success, The Gateway Center, and Year Up).How did everyone else do???

Nothing fancy, but finished and usable as living space.

It's 3 years old and is a modern, kind of fancy place that we paid a high price per square foot to get into.

Like a pic of pig with lipstick on a postcard that says "Don't dress it up - sell your house for CASH right now!"

You'd be better off paying a contractor to walk the property, you won't get the fancy little report and checklists but someone that actually does construction everyday will be better able to spot REAL problems with the house. 

I currently own a few rental properties in the Colorado Springs, CO area, but have one in particular that I could use some advice on and how I should move forward.The short story is, I purchased this home in 2006 when everyone was purchasing homes right before the market collapse and got one of "them fancy interest only loans" :)  This is my one regret with regard to real estate investing and all other homes have a fixed interest rate that can be planned around. 

It's just a fancy term for renting out the rooms or units you're not using to offset your mortgage.

Sue has a stroke, goes thru rehab but now cannot bathe or dress herself or transfer without help and Bob can help her sometimes but not all the time as he is forgetting how to do simple tasks. 

So, if you're buying a $100,000 house... really, really rough math says you might be seeing $3,000 per year in gross depreciation times... let's say you're in a 15% tax bracket because my math with 16, 17, 18 and 19 times 3 isn't great (even though all real estate agents can multiply by 3%)... that means you're saving $450 per year on your tax return in what I call "cash flow from depreciation"... that is a fancy way of saying you didn't have to pay that amount in taxes so you got to keep that much more.$450 per year on a 20% down payment or $20,000 down payment means you're getting a 2.25% return on investment (after tax) on your investment from depreciation.And finally what prompted me to chime in...

The free options like Cozy seem to be a little too simple for what I want, and the more fancy ones like Buildium are definitley too much.
