The owner had terminal cancer and he wanted me pay off the loan on the property that was about $100,000 with no other costs and he was going to give me $45,000 at the close of escrow.

In a way I later referred to as “child-like,” Jekyll told us that he did not want to reply because he was not our employee, and would not put up with such treatment (to clarify: I did not start by demanding anything.)To make matters worse: I asked Jekyll for his contract with the stager, which Jekyll said that he had and was going to forward to us (he never did, ever, despite our repeat reminders.)

We replaced flooring, window treatments, painted the interior, made major upgrades to the termite infested exterior, and more.

My experience with all of our properties on what tenants will and won't pay for:Will: prime location; maximum square footage possible for the price range; an extra bathroom; good storage; no carpeting; accepting pets; fenced-in yard; central HVAC; main-floor W&D hookups.Won't: fancy appliances; upgraded counters; jacuzzi tubs; fancy outdoor spaces; throw-ins (lawn care, pest control, etc); fancy floors; fancy window treatments; Our tenants have consistently told us that they value the most space per dollar that they can get, in the best location, with basic amenities more than anything else.   

Renters will not pay for: upgraded heating systems, fancy countertops, energy-efficient windows, high end appliances, fancy kitchen cabinets, fancy bathrooms, huge walk-in closets, high-end window treatments, upgraded door knobs, security systems, fine landscaping.I rent generally to "B" tenants in "B" neighborhoods.

Section 1231 basically just refers to whether the asset is eligible for favorable capital gains treatment.

In the past PA has not recognized a non-recognition of gain treatment for 1031 exchanges for deferral of state taxes.  

Plus I got GO zone tax treatment that was HUGE.. not available now.but I am selling all my rentals and I have 3 left.. with these I did not need PM as the tenants were top teir I just paid a RE agent for placement when needed and had a handy man.

The banking cabal has dug there claws so deep, taken over so much, it would be nothing short of burning the entire system out the ground to "cleanse" the system of the cancer to get back to healthy life.   

My question is, in the case of a cockroach treatment am I required to pay for their lodging for a night?
