We just shifted last year to commercial apartments and I'm still mourning the loss of my 30 year fixed interest rates.  

I have had many so-so inspections and I am in need of an inspector that really is worth their weight.  

They diminish yearly so you can check the loss every year on line by going to NADA Used Trailer guide and see what they are worth.

I'll definitely be looking to make some connections in the Real Estate profession, while avoiding the loss in time and expertise in my own profession.Your response is much appreciated!

This can be for things such as actual vacancy, bad debt, collection losses.

I'm having a difficult time calculating tax gain/loss from a property sale and was wondering if someone could help me with calculations.Purchased Home in 2005 for $145500Converted personal home to a rental property in 2008.

I guess we are basically trying to justify turning our cash-flowing rental into a second home. lol and the thought of selling a few homes a year there could help compensate for the loss in rental income. 

Besides liability you are insuring the property itself for somewhere between the loan amount and the market value (some companies are more flexible than others on requiring a minimum per sq foot or % of their view of replacement cost) in order to make the lender whole and protect your equity in the event of a total loss.  

It ain't cheap, but worth its weight in gold when passing on a deal is not an option! 

This is more art than science but you could calculate what you need to have a 6-12 month emergency fund should the unexpected happen (job loss, economic crash, etc.) and keep that amount liquid or available.
