I was thrilled when that house sold to an owner that occupied the property.While I recognize that my experience with Section 8 neighbors might be uncommon, it is the reason I will never allow Section 8 in my rental properties.

They just may not recognize it at the state level (like PA).

Recognizing value, often in the face of the naysayers (in this case, the banks).2.

There are many good authors who are qualified by education and experience that give good opinions based on sound economic, financial and industry aspects.......learn to recognize the difference.

If you bought the whole thing for 200K then your basis (roughly) in the piece youre selling is 100K and you will recognize the gain of the difference between that basis and the sales price unless you do a 1031.But paying off debt is an attractive thing no?
