Friend tired of the market, and wants to diversify a bit?

If you have another place lined up and you are tired of dealing with your current landlord, you could just be stubborn and see if he is for real.

Depreciation is what creates the tax shelter but if you ever sell you have to recapture the deprecation and then pay tax.. so once you get on the RE investment hamster wheel you have to keep running till you die and then your heirs get a stepped up basis if that tax treatment is still there when we expire.. so once in you have to stay in.. you want to cash out and or you tire of rental real estate and being a landlord your going to have to pay the tax at that time..

Tired landlord, divorce, probate, etc. 

Sellers can get potential tax benefits if they are not 1031 exchanging into a new property, or they can finally offload a tired asset they can't sell otherwise (at a price they wanted to sell at).

Anyway fast forward a year later to now, the deed is in my name free and clear and I'm tired of paying rent and would like to get the house done so I can move into it. 

There is so much to say about SEC 8 and the question is asked so often on BP I got tired of typing so much that I wrote a blog to refer people to.

But if you truly dislike dealing with adult conflicts, you will tire of this niche. 

Way too many tire kickers as leads.

This can be a number of things, health issues of the seller, foundation problems that are sometimes more scary than they are actually bad, maybe the home has been inherited and the seller is out of state, or it’s a second home that the seller is tired of paying the taxes/payment on.
