The preliminary report says we would be eligible for ~$390k in eligible deductions.

Hello to All, My name is Lynwood Washington and early preliminary stages of planning to make strategic moves to purchase my first rental property.

They actually are licensed which is shocking as everything I've read about them online is very very negative. 

@Andrew Stouse, I'm somewhat shocked that people are recommending subject-to-deals.

I met with someone I am interviewing for a job that also owns real estate and he began a preliminary very cursory review of my portfolio and immediately stated that given the current market value of my portfolio and the number of “doors” that I had my CoC return really needed to be addressed before I considered purchasing any new properties because it was too low and my current level of cash flow needed to be looked at because he also felt that should be higher.

What you need is to shock treat the house with a commercial grade ozone generating machine.

We have performed a preliminary market analysis but would appreciate any and all advice on the current market from those currently involved.

Yeah exactly I was shocked that it fell under owner and not common area. 

I'd be shocked if you don't get a call back, even to tell you its off the market.

There isn't a magic bullet, and I didn't reveal any new shocking ideas here.
