It’s just  that I have no accounting experience and I created my own spreadsheets when I started this (I created and know my own system, not this one).

That's just my $.02 but I'm sure others have been operating differently with success.As for neighborhoods, West Side, South Buffalo, Kaisertown, decent sections of Black Rock and Riverside, pockets of North Buffalo, maybe some sections of Cheektowaga are going to fall into those categories.

They are looking to do a 1031 some day but thinking it might not happen so quickly so they might just want to rent it back out again.

There are several different types of income in the US tax code.Two main types are “active income” and “passive income".Active income is money you earn from working, such as wages from a W-2 job or income from running a business.Passive income is money you earn from investments like real estate, stocks, or rental income from your RE portfolio where you earn $ without actively working.Normally, you can't use passive losses (like losses from real estate investments) to offset active income like your salary from a W-2 job.That is unless you are an RE Pro.The reality is, that Real Estate Pro status is just a filing status similar to filing married or jointly.And if you are a real estate professional you CAN use passive real estate losses to offset active income from other sources.To qualify as an RE Pro you must:1.

We do have a servicer.I finally had a conversation with my JV and said just foreclose since the borrower would not return calls, emails, any form of contact.Borrower did response when a DIL was presented (oddly enough) and agreed to a DIL but has yet to sign the papers.

I use traditional comps to figure property value then use AirDNA + enemy method to factor projected income and then do a traditional underwrite of income / expenses to find return.It is important for AirDNA to have a subscription to find the most similar properties and not just rely on the number it spits out.
