Due to my income falling between the $100-$150k, I am curious on how to increase the amount I can write off of the maximum $25k passive loss for active real estate investors (not sure if there is a term for this write off). 

If you own land close by you are probably aware of the rapid increases in land values based on a strong economy and the proximity to the Domain (the new Downtown) just 2 miles away.

Any other more simple processes you guys use?!?

If you are discovered, as a few landlords recently were, you could not only face a lawsuit from your tenants where they could recover the increased rent they paid, moving costs, etc., but you may be liable for punitive damages. 

If someone buys your LLC, as opposed to the actual properties, they will assume your Current basis, and depreciation schedule, which will increase their taxes when selling.

I'm not sure if I can do anything beyond call a heating company which I imagine has an opinion ab what I order.Eric,    When I get a new to me property i will generally do the work myself, everyone is afraid of it, but its really quite simple if you have experience with advanced home projects, I just applied to be an HVAC Contractor in WI so i can pull the permits and sign the yellow cards,  crazy part is in WI there is no experience or education requirement to be a Heating contractor, Just pay the state for a credential.   

The housing authority insist the HUD limits prevent them from paying my requested rent or even increasing it at all, while the other authority had no issue entering into a contract for the requested amount.

What I like about this deal is, the major cap ex's have been handled, and there is still meat on the bone to increase the cash flow by filling the vacancies.

I just spent an entire day working with individual contractors and picking up supplies, and this is getting harder to do with increasing job responsibilities and planning for a baby next year.

I want to buy a Condo (60k) as my first flip and have a simple questions.
