I have a question for all of you seasoned investors.

If the home has been owned since the previous tax season, and it is not on your tax returns unfortunately no income can be used. 

I'm not seasoned like you.Ahh, don't worry about competition.

I would also add 5-10% Cap ex on top of it if it's an older building because if it needs repairs that expense with trickle down to the tenants. 

Please notify me if this is the case.I am a property consultant based in Dubai and am looking to speak with both seasoned and new investors about their experiences with investing overseas.

In leiu of the holiday season with family events and workplace gatherings, I think it best to forego this month's investor meeting...unless I hear otherwise from everyone! 

it is the holiday season after all. 

I've *visited* some older homes - a couple from around 1900 - but I didn't own them or live in them.The first thing that comes to mind is structural problems, like with the foundation or basic framing.  147 years is a long time for frost, water, wood rot, termites, etc to do their thing. 

I do mostly new development around Denver downtown with a couple local builders, so we are constantly looking for older homes to tear down and rebuild with something new. 

This site is a great tool for both new and seasoned investors!
