These forums have become decreasingly valuable when the only responses are relators telling me it's only for their use.

Any tips on dealing with these issues.

Hello family!
I recently inquired about a rental property and whether I need to add a water softener since the residents don't get the best water. How expensive would it be, and what could it possibly cost in return?

This helps you vet tenants, but a realtor will also get you relevant info from NTN or Rent Spree so you can factor in everything to make the best choice on tenants.Thank you for the tip!

The owner gets to defer taxes on the second half of his capital gains. 

Your response is very helpful, and it will still help me decide which route to go. 

I have no experience in this area ...My first response is $300K seems a lot if all you are getting is 28 days of access.
