As you may be aware they do not issue a refund.How is your duplex working out?

those courts are going up everywhere and cities are having issues with the noise they make. 

We paid cash so no loan or refi issues.

It's a beautiful home (in Rancho Del Oro) and hasn't been vacant a day, but we've had several issues through the years with the plumbing.

It is the buyer who does all of the due diligence and they relay any issues/concerns or comments to the agent and attorney to act on their behalf, if you do not bring it up as an issue - then they do not know otherwise.2.

My issue is, I have very low interest rates and do not want to refinance and lost those rates.

Safety is very relative.

Affordability is an issue right now, but if/when rates go down later this year, that'll put upward pressure on prices.

The extensive root systems will start caving once removed, which will cause issues for a while -- we had one down in a storm and we're still filling in where roots all over the yard continue decomposing, causing depressions in the yard even 5 years later. 

If there is anyone on W2 income with a relatively high tax bracket, could you please tell me if you successfully reduced your taxes with your rental property investments?
