By God's grace, last month, Doctor #14 figured out what was wrong, and I am now on a treatment plan.

As Russell mentioned, there are not many (pretty much non-existent) multifamily properties in NOVA or the Maryland cities you listed.

The seller might then have no choice but to fix the foundation or sell the property to someone, like most of the investors on this site, who can purchase with cash or non-conventional financing.

@George Blower, What happens if you own real estate in a Roth SOLO 401k (avoiding UBIT and financed with a non-recourse mortgage) then rollover that asset to (In-Kind service distribution I believe is the technical way of explaining it) a Roth IRA before the mortgage is paid off and is owned free and clear?

My leases have a clause for 60 day notice of non renewal (I am in N.J.)

I put about 60% down, and have a small non-recourse loan. 

To make a comparison to the medical field, home inspectors are like a general practitioner. 

While Texas is a non-disclosure state, the appraisal districts are pretty good about capturing values off deeds of trust, etc so expect that number to be higher after the sale unless you bring a lot of cash to the table. 

Good afternoon BP community,I’ve been on BP for a while and love reading your stories, both successful and non-successful.

Flips are taxes are ordinary income in the same year, but rental is not taxed because you are not selling rental each year for profit. and eventually, when you sell, it will have capital gain treatment.
