Did you mean economic murder by nationalization?

The problem is I want to avoid getting murdered by capital gains taxes.

As far as what your tenant is smelling, that's a mystery.  

It can't be worth throwing your life away on a murder charge, smh@ Shane Johnson ~ good point!

The mystery of what assets young Bryan may have already accumulted for himself.

wow good points.the plumbing was a mystery SMELL, turned out to be a compromised sewer line, took a smoke test to figure out. the source of the smell was not near the origin hahaha.You are right on about the losing money on charity. it's a constant battle with me, but with my husband on my back hahaha, not happening. 

Sooooo the tenant thought attempted murder would solve his problems... 

Thanks @Bill Exeter  - that's what seemed the most logical, but the tax law works in mysterious ways sometimes!

@Joseph Murders - Thank you for the welcome!

"I want to make money in real estate" is not a 'why' - that is a what or a how.It took me over a month to come up with my why, and I ended up coming up with something that in the end became more of my life's 'mission statement' if you will:My Why - To focus the efforts of my life toward things specific to the service of those I care for, the acquiring of wisdom and knowledge for myself, or to gain understanding into the mysteries of the nuances of life.That is me to a T.
