I did not like it the idea that there was no way to have a private conversation there and trully something smell very bad on him.

Thanks for responding Wheatie I'll go there to continue my conversations in the future.

Scott Scheel is also very good, and since I have learned from both, I do find that Scott is a bit more advanced/technical in his property analysis as well as other items including strategies.That said, I still remain with the others on my dislike for NR marketing techniques, upselling, etc.

Its mostly things people make from household items.

The 30% reduction includes closing costs, carrying costs, utilities and miscellaneous items including the end buyers profit.

I got this private message from kwilder, it felt alittle like spam since it was unasked for and had never had a conversation with him...

I did remove some items from the web list that I didn't feel had to do with me--such as make sure furnace is properly installed, gas stove properly installed, etc.

Does your lease state that the items are there only for the convenience of the tenant and you are not responsible for repairs?

If you depreciate that over 5 years you get an extra $2K/year in write offs, if you're in a 25% marginal bracket you would save $500/year in taxes.I only ever did it on new carpet and HVAC systems, because I'm a big believer in "keep it simple, stupid", and extra depreciation schedules complicate your life, and I was always more interested in increasing my revenues than cutting my taxes.My former CPA was pretty conservative, but still I often expensed small dollar items instead of capitalizing and depreciating them.

Closing is normal, except it ends up being delayed because the bank can't get everything signed and returned to the title company on time.You can certainly ask that the bank pay for certain items at closing.Your offer will state who pays for what for things like the title insurance, appraisal, survey, etc.
