@Austin Jones @Randy Galliani @Todd Pultz There are no cap gains tax on a “flip”....any profits are taxed as ordinary income, plus 15.3% soc/med.

I am lucky, I have a respiratory disorder and advanced experience with such and access to every and any med imaginable, and we threw a lot at it.

I'm in SC and travel to the Houston med center one week a month for work. 

Regarding 1031, selling these single families wouldn't be a problem in this market, it's finding another better or even equivalently good property in this red hot market that'd be the problem.. especially as an out of state investor presumably investing in the med west without local knowledge and relying on the MLS..

I never smelled cat, didn't sneeze any more than normal (I'm also allergic to New Mexico, and allergy meds barely take the edge off).

This was a tenant off of their meds who tried to commit suicide.  

Funny, had same situation (husband med prof and wife wants to be RE).Advice - FIRST get your husband's practice started and rolling and put 100% in that.  

I was thankful for this very strategy in March, as I turned an LTR I have near the med center into a medium term for the increase in traveling medical professionals.

you're correct Dina Harleth ..in my multifamilies, i always paid for exterminating service a few times a year..single families i treat differently..i pay for a spray before they move in, and then once a year after that..if they have any problems, it's up to them after that...here's the risk though...even if the tenants are to blame, and technically 'responsible', what happens when they get pissed and move?

Fosun is also the biggest investor in French resort operator Club Med."
