@Ricky Reddin, sorry to hear your wife's mom passed away.

Any advice would be appreciated.I would first talk to a real estate attorney or a foreclosure attorney to make sure that the way you plan to do things passes muster.

@Scott Stamps  I'm skeptical of many of these programs but for sure I'd pass on any 'guru' programs where they are struggling to keep their own deals afloat, as ODC is. 

Would you entertain a condo?

We are always willing to entertain negotiation with our tenants.

Just keep in mind that entertainment expenses—like taking clients out for a show or a game—aren’t deductible anymore.And, yes, you can deduct 100% of your education expenses if you’re already a real estate investor.

LLC is pass through income so have your bookeeper or CPA take care of everything at the end of the year for your tax documents.

But if you are like most investors that $300 can go a long way for you once a few months pass.

The close date comes and passes without notice despite me reaching out. 

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something?
