My partner on the other hand used to have a construction company in Las Vegas, but when the economy went down so did his company.

Anyways, we have a Snohomish County REI meetup you may be interested in attending sometime, your knowledge of rehab would be wonderful I'd love to speak with you about some questions sometime (these have been my first hands on rehab experience without hiring the help out).

Too many hands were in the cookie jar with not enough cookies for everyone to even take a bight.

All my questions are designed to see that they meet my criteria without tipping my hand as to what the criteria is.

I don't know about this first-hand, but here is a website that might help you sift through the details and processes:http://www.doleta.gov/business/incentives/opptax/

I've read differing opinions on this topic and would like an experienced hand to provide his/her opinion... paging @Steve Hamilton II or @Amanda Han :)

I know that there's nothing like hands-on learning, so I think its a good trade-off.

In my case I have a handful of properties renting for $800 per month that I paid roughly $40,000 for, thus a 2% monthly rent.

Not that its impossible because it can be done and if the law allows in thats ok on one hand.

The house would need some fixing up but we would include fix up money in the loan...This is where I sheepishly admit that every single time I got my hands on 5-10K for 10 years, I bought a house.
