If you can document that you have lived in it as your primary residence for 2 out the previous 5 years you can sell it and take the first $250K ($500K if married) in profit tax free!!!  

They have and can share a deep wealth of information.Having said that, I find that the majority of the time, they are representing the Seller.

When I sold my properties a few years ago I paid 2 policies back and kept some profit for myself.  

I've not and am not buying now because I'm traveling, but I've heard about the town's growth on and off for a few years as well as Goodnight's backing of Chatham Park, a major project which it seems the locals resist because it will turn a small town into a bigger one. 

He is a good guy and has been in the business a long time and has worked all the major gas station brands out there.

We are looking for someone who would like to manage the process and in return get a cut of the profit.  

Too many people pay $30k for a guru to tell them everything, but if you can "sacrifice" $10-$20k of potential profit, you will have real-world experience, relationships AND the ability to go to private money or bank financing with and actual track record.

Not true with the larger hotels as they only accept cards but I think on many of these they are very profitable as much of the income is not reported.

Obviously there are some pretty major pros and cons with a tenant who has been their that long.
