Hi Brianna,If the city building department website says emergency wreck it means that the city already decided that the condition of the property is bad and I would assume that the kitchen remodeling cost is further down the list.  

If they go with a property manager, be sure that they are actively marketing their property rather than just putting it on their website.

Once a structure is selected, what’s the best way to present that to a seller?

HI Ben there is a website is call Diedinhouse.com it give the history of the property you have to pay for the report i personally never tried that's  the information i have i hope it helps you and good luck

I have seen on this website answers both ways regarding this (the site administrator saying leave it in Sch A, and his colleague (also a enrolled agent) advising that it can be written off in Sch E, but that there are certain restrictions mainly -- you must have passive activity gains where the deductions are covered (no passive activity loss carry over allowed.

There are a number of ways to justify your claim, but one of the most effective I've found is to look up similar build and size houses near your property and then look up their tax assessment's on the county website. 

Hello guys, what a good website to invest in notes?
