I, personally, would like to see how learning and investing in "Foreclosures" would be benefiting us as I see the trend currently being very overwhelming in this area due to the subprime loans scandal that exists.

I am asking you to explain YOUR claims for the benefit of everyone on the forum.

Hello there everyone-If you are all to proud to ask what is out there to benefit you and your family then I will just list them off for you.

I came across a few today that might have offered some good rates and benefits to borrowers.

All in all, I think we will benefit from it in the end.

I guess the only reason could be if I invest into property improvements that benefit the tenant - i.e. energy efficiency in appliances, windows, etc.....

You as the owner of the home would then have the benefit of exempting any further gains upon sale at a later date.I don't know what you mean by subtracting depreciation from gains when the LLC sold it, but it seems you have several items mixed together.

You have to provide the benefits long before you get paid.

Would there even be any benefit of putting a property like this into an LLC?

You may already know that but for the benefit of others, that is typically how it is done.
