with the information provided can someone please give me our cost basis so I can figure total capital gains?

Before buying or renting in an unfamiliar neighborhood, you should check the following two sites: SpotCrime, AreaVibes,These sites provide valuable information, including Livability Scores, which cover aspects such as crime rates, employment, health, housing, schools, shopping, and more.well, anything can happen anywhere.

I have been able to find out a lot of information from them, some in line with what I've been told elsewhere and some directly contrary. 

If you do decide to allow an inspection, just keep an eye out for a few things: make sure they’re serious about the purchase and not just fishing for information, and try to get a sense of their intent.

First, lets set some inaccurate information straight. 

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

I think part of the problem is the search function sucks and people know not to use it to find information so its easier to ask a question.

Most importantly is the information that is fed into the tool (along, of course with accurate calculations).I analyzed so many deals that myself or my partners were not inclined to pursue, I felt the time/effort shouldn't go to waste.

I was then informed that my file was in queue to be assigned to a tax preparer on March 12th.

Thanks for the information, but I have a business partner in the business/building sale.
