I'm meeting with the owners of a property next week and would like to do my own rough evaluation prior... thanks in advance. 

The property is a duplex that needed a full rehab in both units to meet the area's rental rates.

I would definitely meet whoever that is before closing.

I would have negative cashflow of around $900/month on the house (SFRs don't cashflow here), and added holding costs/time mean my cash on cash returns would suffer, but I'd still meet my threshold... unless of course the market tanks by then.

I also have to attend a board meeting where I might get a fine or insist that I evict my tenant because the community has a drug free policy.

Are you going to go into a meeting and not have a pest/ roof/hvac report on this house you have under contract? 

Sec. 301.7508A-1(d)(1), the term “Affected Taxpayers” generally includes parties that may have difficulty meeting the 45-day identification or 180-day exchange deadlines for any of the following reasons: The relinquished property or the replacement property is located in Presidentially declared disaster area;A party to your transaction has their principal place of business located in a Presidentially declared disaster area.

Hopefully we'll meet at the next Bozeman Investment Club group.
