New vehicle should fall under those guidelines..I purchased a barely used Polaris Sportsman XP & a New 14' trailer last Christmas..I really wanted to build a work shop at my Office building, but apparently a shop falls under Real Estate and has to be depreciated..

I have been shopping hard money lenders, talking to everyone I know about what I'm doing and raising down payment money, looking for deals to wholesale to add to my down payment pot and working on a marketing campaign to help find more wholesaleable deals.  

Yeah I just can't bring myself to buy a new car.The car insurance,car payment,depreciation just makes new car one of the worst investments ever.Some of my friends say "But I have to have a brand new car so I have reliable transportation to get to work".It's a cop out and there are plenty of cars not brand new that will work.People want to justify making bad decisions.I am a car guy myself and my first business was a car audio shop so I can fix most of the stuff myself.My brother also owns a used car dealership and can get me awesome cars at the private auction for cheap.What I care about is the mechanicals.The paint and interior is cheap to redo.I look in the paper sometimes at new cars and can't believe the prices they are asking.If you bought a new car it's like someone beating you up and taking thousands of dollars once you drive off the lot.If you want a newer car you look for the sweet spot of under 50k miles that is 2 to 4 years old.Those vehicles have depreciated hard but still have a lot of miles on them to go and you can still get good financing.Those vehicles go fast so you have to be ready to act.I have always wanted a Ferrari but I think it would be cheaper sometime just to rent one for a few days and get it out of my system for awhile.

No RE, just shows and shopping starting with Miss USA Pageant sunday night.

I almost bought a house like this, and got two bids, the lowest was $3k, but I would have shopped harder if the deal had closed.

we oldsters call it "timeless"I am not a flipper, but I am currently shopping for replacement rentals for an exchange and one of my criteria is brick, stone, or vinyl exterior.

Then shop it to companies, would not hurt to purchase a franchise of something yourself and take advantage of the situation.

@Jane A. just shop around.

We strive to be a one-stop-shop of resourceful information for the novice to the experienced Real Estate Investor.Boise, Idaho.

If there's a demand for that as well I'm sure having this group can help in that regard too and we can cross that bridge should there be enough people asking for it.This fall I want to shop the list of places to contractors who will give the service and cost savings the large group can command for 2016.
