I personally hear from tons of people who think the market will come down, due to the struggling middle class and the fact that it will get worse.

I'm not.The way around it is a single-person LLC owned by only one person and not their spouse.

I think we charge about $50 per application for every person over 18 years old.

In CA, generally, if a tenants dog gets out and attacks a person or pet by way of landlord negligence, like through a broken window or faulty door, then you the landlord could be held liable.

However, minor cosmetic repairs or repairs to personal property cannot be deducted such as paint, replacing broken hardware, fixing leaks or holes, etc.(2) If you have other types of investments (e.g., stocks or mutual funds) that are operating at a loss, if you liquidate those investments to take a loss, you can use those losses to offset your capital gains.

I will try to find such a person.

Once you have that clarity, build a team around you—this could include a real estate agent, a lender, a mentor, contractor, a solid title company/Attorney and possibly a property manager etc.

Hey Michael, I personally invest pretty much all over Cleveland.

I also have an appointment with my tax person and Fidelity.  

My first post on BP, I've been a lurker for a long time.I sold my e-commerce company last year and have been doing some real-estate investing, I've bought and fixed up several personal homes over the years and have always wanted to get into real-estate investing.I live in CA, and I bought my first investment property in Temple Texas at the beginning of the year.
