I really think there is great benefit to getting this right to start and then automating it best you can going forward.

You get tax benefits while you stay there, and if you sell after two years you pay no capital gains.

Even at 42 units now, I don't really see that benefit. 

It seems like they want all the benefits but none of the responsibilities in a renewed contract. 

I don't think age was a key factor for us, but I'm grateful that we shifted our thinking and strategy while we have time to really benefit from the fruits of cash flow and long term appreciation, but I think attitude and financial savvyiness (sp?)

The question is whether I should expect an appraiser to include any type of reserves in his/her calculations considering the building is essentially going to be new construction?

What are my tax benefits?

Find a partner who can benefit from your hustle and availability and get a deal done.

Well worth it but what started out as fun hanging out with friends, I ended up with complete strangers and almost feeling like a captor in my own house luckily once my girlfriend moved back I was able to take back a full paid off house and enjoy the major benefits of not having a house payment.Single Family Residence: Bought first one in 2010 at auction for 26,500.

While funds in your 401k technically belong to you - you can't benefit from those funds until retirement age.
