My situation unfortunately disqualifies me for a conventional loan at the moment, as I only have 1 year of work history/tax returns in the US.I was previously employed in the UK, however due to a 1 year gap in employment history (whilst I was going through the immigration process and was legally not allowed to work) my lender has told me they will not be able to complete the loan.This leads me to commercial loans!

The listing agent is not returning my calls or responding to my emails.

What I would like to know is how much did you spend on education, was it worth it to you, and how much of a return have you made that you would contribute to your education. 

You just have to play nicely with the SEC like what @Robert Borr was saying.Step #1- Just go meet people that you believe would be interested in learning what you have to say in the future (Don't talk about returns, etc. 

The one this morning  is just a discussion and owners won't be allowed to speak up.I'm mostly bummed because I was hoping for a 1000% return on that tent in my garage.  ;-)

The form is submitted with your current years returns and allows you to retroactively claim accelerated depreciation, usually giving you a huge chunk in the first year!

I was a “seasoned landlord” at the time, meaning 2yrs of LL on my tax returns, so I was credited 75% if current rents (they were all occupied) toward my income in the DTI requirements.

The properties are fully occupied and that has a great returns but a low evaluation.

I would expect only the same in return.

Its always better to get your principal back to go do another deal.I like to take a macro view and tally up all the deals/investments at the end of the year and see what the net profit/return is.That way you can average all your deals and you may also end up with an out-sized PROFIT house that averages out the small 5K profit you made on this one.Like Lebron James says, just try to get better at your craft every day..!
