I'm favorably impressed with a couple of Bob's posts, and will look for some of Troys.

Its true taxes are high but so are rents, and yes the laws favor the tenant but that just means you need to be a little more picky about who you rent to.

In building websites and lead pages in the past I realize that the majority of leads that came in were not favorable on price or terms.    

I had to look around a bit for info on that one.Although I haven't yet found a definitive legal reference for this matter, it seems that the eviction procedure generally favors the tenant in cases of late/non-payment of rent. 

Lesson, there is nothing worse than when two people think they are doing each other a favor.2.

After being on here for a while, you can probably return the favor and share some knowledge with him.

the rest of the storyThat was only part of the equation but my FFE portion is a wash with my book value.I have worked out the deal so that most goes to building and land and the FFE is a washI started out in a duplex and have progressed over the years into flipping hotels.I do not want to do another hotel so I am giving a great deal to someone in order to get the 1031 to work in my favor 21% taxed instead of 33% and I can buy any building/land property.

You will still need either a solid reputation via experience or a favorable credit profile, please understand that.

BUT better in your scenario because if the buyer were to have issues with financing or still looking at other properties, the agent would have a front row seat to that info.If the list price is close to what you are wanting to pay, if it's a hot market, if it's an out of town or inexperienced agent or if you are experienced this can work in your favor.

Their rates were favorable.
