Now, if you are in a very competitive market, I can see the benefit of reaching out to the listing agent directly. but still, as a first time home buyer, you should get an agent.

It was basically a "point the finger at other tenants for high usage each and every month" To their benefit in many ways I agreed with them as I wouldn't want to pay for other people who weren't responsible for water usage.

I'm looking for a Claims Adjusters in the Philadelphia PA area.

And when you then later sell it is once again that basis plus any improvements that constitute your adjusted cost basis for sale. 

I suppose I could borrow those funds from a family member and then pay them back with the owner-financing proceeds over the next year, but then I lose the benefit of owner-financing (i.e. the interest).Not sure the buyer can wait until my listing agreement expires, as their lease expires in May, a month before my agreement.

The only benefit is the rest of the policies went down in price, and the savings of the rest was about the same as the increase in this policy.

The big picture is having a nicer, rehabbed property will bring better tenants which will make it a better community which in turn benefits the HOA as well as myself. 

I manage the property and get all the rent (it's a 2 unit building with a garage that is rented), and reap all the tax benefits. 

If it's any consolation, the benefits of expensing vs depreciating are only meaningful to those whose loss real estate tax write-offs aren't restricted by the passive loss limitations.

I read everything I could on BiggerPockets on syndications (including such articles as "The Compelling Tax Benefits of Real Estate Syndication") and searched on the wide web and nothing even hints at how a cash distribution (what I often hear referred to as a "dividend") is anything but taxable income like you'd get on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV.So what is a distribution if it's so independent of the taxable income?
