We haven't had a fiat currency in the digital age before so this should be interesting.

You can what-if any deal to death.As far as other markets, I get a lot of investors from your part of the world here in Ohio because 1) it is a stable market, and 2) the price of real estate is so low compared to CA that the cash flow is spectacular.I have some turnkey rentals with returns well into double digits listed in MarketPlace if you are interested.

My business partner and I have been doing everything in our power to keep everything digital so location would not bother me.After study the tax code, it seems the issue I am having is what the IRS considers the various "reasonable method's" of dividing the expenses.

Your (online) statement shows the deposit, the amount, the 4 digit code to identify the tenant, the location, time and date.

Hi,Is @J Scott's DIGITAL book (http://get.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook) readable on Kindle or does it come via email as a PDF?

Only way I know to get rid of it, is to dig it out, and you'll be doing that every year for several years.

So I think the first question is are you okay getting 3%, 5%, 7%, do you need a double digit return?

I would have to wait until warmer temperatures (probably late March/early April) to get it done anyways because nobody I've talked to wants to do digging in single digit winter weather with a couple of inches of snow on the ground.

Get a good digital camera for 200 bucks.. you'll use it again,, take nice staged photos.. get staging accessories and keep tags on so you can return the stuff.. 

You sell, you get paid.Then there are businesses where you buy something and sell it at a higher price (stores), make something and sell it for more than it costs you to make it (manufacturing), where you dig something up and sell it for more than it costs you to dig it up (mining), or where you provide some service to your customers (restaurants.)
