Norm,What you want to do is look online for your county tax assessor site.

If you are here on 3/14 at 6:30pm-9pm there will be an excellent presentation by former JP about evications in North Dallas.Judge Al Cercone, Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 1 (Retired), " Realities of the Courtroom for Investors and Landlords "   The latest on small claims and landlord-tenant law and how it actually works in the courtroom.If you want to do the same for Ft.

this is due to historically outstanding rent growth, overall far better tenant than most other markets due to the housing shortage (San Diego ranks near bottom in nation in both delinquent rent and evictions), and property taxes being near fixed rate.  

Was looking for some better ideas for tax planning, and saw this one, but then wondering now how much money I need bring to table.I also have another house I could sell, and maybe 1031 exchange with like 300k equity in it, so not sure if that would help.

Forced appreciation, appreciation, tax savings, principal paydown and (the most valuable in my opinion) experience. 

Assuming he/she does not sell the property at the end of 10 years, at that point will taxes be owed on the property's appraised value?

That way increases in costs of insurance, property taxes, etc are passed onto the tenant. 

Thanks to the Cost Segregation Study, the property investors were able to reclassify the property components and accelerate their depreciation for a total of $356,000 in the first year.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

(yes, I will check with my tax professional also)

When analyzing rental rates, vacancy rates, property taxes, and other financial metrics, it's important to consider various factors.
