I ended up buying two cacao farm parcels in a newly created self-directed ROTH IRA – another concept that I wasn’t really familiar with until recently.  

I will be over the newly proposed 10k threshold once the law is enacted and therefore unable to make the full deduction for 2018. 

I buy launched products, not stuff "in the works."

Considering that Newly renovated 3/2 in my are selling for 130-150K right now and mine are newly renovated, but not new kitchen cabinets and not granite counter tops, I'm furious that the appraisals came in between 80- and 85K.

I would like to hear her talk about taxes and depreciation on newly constructed rental properties.

Below is a list of our ideas to change the community's perception:Exterior Renovations:  paint & trim out the buildings, repave the parking lot, new signageNew Ownership / New Management signs on the propertyInterior Renovations: newly remodeled units and remodeled laundry facilityHave the local newspaper publish a story on our turn around projectProvide a couple units to local sheriff deputies who will drive their police cruisers homeWhat are some other ideas you've incorporated to change a community's perception of a certain property?

We would never buy a house that didn't project to cash flow, and we wouldn't keep a house whose numbers we didn't think would continue to cash flow.You will find things will come up, especially on newly purchased properties, in the first year or two we often end up needing to do some capital investment, paint, appliances, roofs etc.
