Hi,I have been approached to invest with several large apartment complexes in large cities throughout the U.S.

Here's are a couple of example scenarios I ran to see the difference between the two approaches.

If they see any pitfalls you might be approaching, they should give you a heads up.

Yes John, another good approach, people that couldn't sell and ended up renting to move, estate deals, see who retires at the plant maybe the spouse has been taking care of the properties, tie landlords to those events in life that motivate them to sell, otherwise you're spinning your wheels. :)

The expertise from this site is incredible.

Another way to calculate is find out how many gallons the pool holds. 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons.Take the amount of gallons, say 20,000 / 7.48 = 2674 cubic feet.2674 cubic feet equals = 99 cubic yards.You could add a bit more for the top of the pool that you don't fill up, but the decking and broken up gunite, plaster, tile etc, should take care of this.Now, being a boating guy, I should have realized the displacement approach earlier!!!

The truth of the matter is, I have no legal or IRS issues with this approach, which has been confirmed by several attorneys and CPAs.

Institutional investors and street level investors usually do not approach the matter of repair and defects from the same angle.

I've noticed that people on BP tend to favor this approach, but on many other forums people would never cash out for a number of reasons.

And, two, so once my reserves go over a certain amount, I can dump that money back into another investment property.Money is so unbelievably cheap and the cash on cash returns on SFH right now is incredible.
