Hello everyone, I am a 31 year old married father of 3 in central NJ.

Try to notice how old is the condo community is. - My condo was built in the late 70s so the community is at the point where many things need to be replaced. 

The uncle who is a lawyer wanted to co-sign for 30 some year old tenants. 

Hi All,My quest for my first rental property continues and I have an off-market opportunity in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood.

That might mean you'll get the world's greatest bargain, or it might mean they're willing sit tight, for centuries if need be, until they get their insanely inflated price.

I think in the commercial world you can depreciate things based on some chart that lists how long something is "supposed" to last. 

We have a property that has interior hallway access to the units that currently has old, beat up carpets.

Hello BP world.

Welcome to BP and the world of real estate investing @Adam Dobbins!

Like one little lot split i was doing in Lake Oswego.. we do the pre app and all the other things to get to a land use decisions ( probably 15 to 20k)  and no mention of this through the whole thing. .but one of the land use conditions was to replace the old water line in the street with a 200 ft run of 8 inch ductile iron.. all for hooking up two houses.. total BS this is a major road.. the cost to do this will be significant .. so we are appealing that condition..
