With the huge government debt, taxes probably aren’t going down in the foreseeable future.

Based upon the first days of our great constitutional republic, before you could vote or participate in the goings on of government processes, you needed to own property.

Huge potential, but the UC government is conservative for development projects, unlike JC. 

Some people mention calculating the percentage based off of rented bedrooms vs personal-use bedrooms (1 personal use vs 2 rented and doesn't take into account square footage size differences), others talk about using the personal use square footage divided by the total home square footage (includes common areas) and others mention that the shared spaces do not count towards a Schedule E.All in all, I just want to make sure I'm calculating that percentage fairly (both to me and the government). 

So if you don't complete your 1031 you'll want to amend your tax returns to at least take advantage of the depreciation benefit before you have to pay it back.If your gross gain is $250  then that is probably taxed at 15% federal plus whatever state.   

Not so today, but not too far away either...The biggest differences:Conventional - typically a lower rate, no prepayment penalties, backed by the government or agency, DTI, Income, restrictions on property types, restrictions on # of properties owned, require passing AUS, can be difficult for Self-Employed, and heavy Underwriting guidelines.DSCR - higher rate (normally), prepayment penalties with various structures, backed by private investors or capital funds groups, about 1/3 of the paperwork, very laxed Underwriting guidelines, usually no restrictions on # of properties owned, no DTI calcs, no Income calcs, no massive amount of TRID disclosures, etc...Cost-wise (fees and such, not rate), they are very similar. 

I think it is against Federal Law to have this kind of a setup.

I know each state is different and Oregon seems to be governed by a certain statute but I’m having a hard time figuring it out.

If it is built before 1978 you need a federal lead paint disclosure form. 

Often there are standard leases available online (from a government) you can use for your area.
