While I am only in the preliminary stages of my RE Investing career, I want to begin my focus on which market to start heavily researching.

Hello All,In learning/DD stage getting ready for my first ever deal (2b a renovate & sell).

I exited stage RIGHT in 2007, and have never been happier.

You might as well call hedge funds hedgehogs as they're hogging all of the properties.Ok bad joke "takes a bow and exits stage left" :)-

I will also be doing marketing to all medical professionals on the condo units (though we are still in planning stages so I can only take reservations on those) If you are interested in the area around St.

The houses are located in very desirable neighborhoods with low inventory, they have been rehabbed with high-end finishes on the rehab work, and both have been perfectly staged.

Having some excess stuff is.... average.

If your gain exceeds the $250,000/$500,000, the excess amount would be taxable unless you have converted the property to rental/investment property and would be able to do a 1031 Exchange (Revenue Procedure 2005-14).

Those expenses in excess of your rental income cannot be deducted in the current year.

I went to google to "withholding 7% form" and it is Maryland Return of Income Tax Withholding for Nonresident Sale of Real Property (MW506NRS)Form used to determine the amount of income tax withholding due on the sale of property located in Maryland and owned by nonresidents, and provide for tax collection at the time of the sale or transfer.This is the "application form" MW506RApplication for Tentative Refund of Withholding on Sales of Real Property by NonresidentsForm used to apply for a refund of the amount of tax withheld on the sale or transfer of Maryland real property interests by a nonresident individual or nonresident entity which is in excess of the transferor/seller's tax liability for the transaction.
