The first month has been only a 4% response rate. 3 solid leads no deals yet.Any deals from your marketing campaigns?

Especially in your neck of the woods...

and it's written by investors known on BP and the big guy himself Joshua Dorkin, chock full of great information on which to build a solid foundation in REI!

I don't know if you can only claim depreciation for the first 27.5 years of the life of the house, or 27.5 years from when you buy it.Hopefully some of the tax guys will come in here and give you a more solid answer.

I was quoted $5.75/foot to put in Lawson engineered wood into a rehab I am doing.

The garage is wood-framed on a concrete foundation, sided and roofed similarly to the house and already has electric running to it, but no plumbing.

It is great you are being conservative but it tells me you don't have really solid grasp on the neighborhood values.

This is obviously for use on surfaces that can be cleaned (not drywall) such as brick or block, concrete, some wood etc.

Yet buy and hold our crappy "annuity product of the month" is a solid plan?

Assuming things go well, after a few years he and I will partner on deals and delegate the management of the project (a solid plan as far as I'm concerned until I learn my market, am able to consistently find deals, and finance them on my own, wouldn't you say so?)
