I first got started in a network marketing business (still am) and that lead me to Rich Dad Poor Dad book (that my dad had recommend a year earlier and I blew off).

My appraisal was also 10k more than my purchase price however I wouldn't bet on appreciation when it comes to Indy.

I'll bet the real definition hinges on whether she holds sec. deps or rents, even if it's for one minute.

Quick question for you.I came true a flip deal, the numbers runs good, but they do not give me any option period.Should I go away or try to bet in a black box?

Hello I'm hoping to learn how you are finding cash poor, time rich property sourcers that can source property for you to invest in?

I have a ton of equity but am a little cash poor, hence the PL inquiries.  

They may be more accurate in other areas but for instance, in my area the school my own kids go to is rated pretty poorly even though it's one of the most, if not THE most, desireable schools in the city.

your best bet is to have one on your team, and consult with him on this matter, i am not a CPA but i believe all those improvements should have been put on your taxes the years that you had the work done, it would have increased the asset value then and kept adding as you did the projects and reported them. i think you are in for an uphill battle now. the work you may have done say 5 years ago can't just be claimed now, there is 5 years of depreciation that is against that work that the IRS will claim you lost out on, so that will have to be deducted from your numbers.

I bet the neighbors will be happy when it is finished.
