If I buy a property built before a certain year that currently has tenants in it, I cannot raise there current rents beyond the allowable increase for the year(3%-4%)  I would have to wait until any of the units becomes vacant to raise rents to current rent rates.Is this correct so far? 

(Credit score over 800)2018-We committed to increasing our real estate holdings.In February we bought a condo in Pensacola, Fl.

Imminent Interest rate increases through 2019 will negate any appreciable price increase and indication of a general cooling off nationwide is coming.You should approach the lenders to let them have the project.

But instead I'm debating on doing only a 20% down, which will be a significant increase to my current mortgage on the smaller house, and use a good chunck of the 20%, to either pay off student loans ($65k, saving about $700/mo in payments that can be used to offset mortgage), or using it to put down on rentals (multifamily). 

However, due to the appreciation play, we can see this increasing 3.5-4% over that time, including maybe 5-7% each of the first 3 years.

Their go to fix for problems is a tax increase of some kind.

I'll give him 33% of the rent increases and the strike price for the option will be $2.2 million (107x gross monthly rent - CAP of 7.4% with no vacancy built in). 

Hello everyone,Interested to see what are some good ways to increase deductions in order to reduce taxable income.

Other than cycles....I would love to hear any reasons people may be expecting an increase or drop in value in any of these areas.I'm sure other forums discuss this, but I'm starting another one :)

I am living here and was sick for the past couple of months.
