But of course I am structuring my T1 and T776 in such a way as to minimize taxes.So how would I continue to grow, get good bank rates, and still have a tax return that shows lots of expenses, to keep from paying a lot of income tax?

Finished houses continued to sell at a premium.

I would have skipped the rock wall, water feature, combo W/D and trimmed the counter on the peninsula.  

You'll also need to attend continuing education classes to maintain your license.

The feedback can be brutal when they feature a home, but it's  really good research for City of Atlanta properties.

But the prices in one area should reflect the current market price, even if expectations of growth in the area are projected to continue, this should all be factored into the price right?).

@Cheryl Craigo We’ve done a few of these deals and we’d like to continue doing them.

I have two SFR properties in Texas (one in Spring for past three years and one in Conroe for past three months) which I plan on keeping for the long term while continuing to build my portfolio.

However, I am trying to get the most bang for my buck and would like to pursue building a fourplex; and then continue to build more properties in the future.

I don't want to discourage anyone, but we aren't particularly close to the inventory being at replacement cost in my opinion which is why you continue to see so many apartment investors chasing the B and C class inventory.I am sure there are deals if you find a distressed lot etc. but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.
