San Francisco appears to have them as well, although I'm uncertain if they're constructed differently.That is unfortunate about the high operating costs of those buildings as I am sure they are beautiful and it enhances the neighborhood to have them maintained and occupied.

If anyone knows of an attorney that you think would be good for this unusual property purchase then it would be greatly appreciated as well.

Ello,Another option is to hire a CPA for this year and see / ask questions about what they are doing and various considerations.Not to take business away from Lance but unless there are unusual circumstances, it is not rocket science.

If your WHY is strong enough, you will find your way; and it would not surprise me if if you make it work through a bunch of unusual and odd circumstances - you'll hear many of these stories over time.You have three things to invest: money, time and energy - usually a combination of those three, somtimes only two.

Not unusual for docs to have $400,000-$500,000 in student loans or practice startup costs and $50,000 or so in income during residency.
