I have a home that I bought back in 2001.

If an HOA board votes to buy a new product for the community common usage, such as a new entry point access control system, are they able to depreciate that hardware in any way? Is it even a real estate question at th...

I just bought David Greene's book on long distance RE investing because I know that the midwest holds a lot of opportunity as far as minimal market fluctuations and cheaper properties. 

Where I live in Fort Lauderdale, there are a lot homeowners that bought properties in 2004-2005 that are just now worth what they owe.

She bought the property in 2004.

There were so many things I didn't think to look at when I bought my first house that when I bought the next one I was a lot more vigilant.

We bought our first home (already at a good price - owners were very motivated to sell quick) in Kailua in late 2016 with a loan from my parents for the down payment and have done a lot of improvements already which has upped our equity quite a bit, so at this point, we are waiting for at the very least the 2-year mark as well as a few other improvements before we sell again, and we are hoping we will make a pretty good profit, pay my parents off, and have leftover to move on to the next property.
