To defer all tax you must purchase in total at least as much as your net sale.

Others are exploring different real estate asset classes all together.Notice in that chart in the link above, today's trend isn't too different from how things looked basically until 2010.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Thank you all for your input and advice it was invaluable.

Here's my problem, I've invested pretty much all of the cash that I have and have hit a plateau. 

Or like California a RE Broker like myself or Consumer finance license all which are regulated by the state .

This tenant is rude, vulgar, always has an attitude, complains about everything, have to constantly remind them to send me needed documents, blasting music all night to the point where cops were called on them by outside neighbors. 

We work with a lot of OOS investors and showings, inspections, and lending can all be done remote very easily. 

I would consider them to be more of a consultancy than a turnkey provider, and as such I think they provide tremendous value.Of course I could do all the legwork from scratch - research markets and properties, find lenders, get home inspectors and insurance and property managers and so forth - but RTR has already done all that and has far more experience and knowledge than I do.

Hello all,What have you seen re: water meters.
