I too am an investor in your market with several buy and holds with plans to start adding rehabs in the first quarter of 2018 if the deals are there.

However, if you take the money out of your entity you are at risk of "double taxation".What are your thoughts on these issues?

I plan to grow & buy my next duplex in the 4th quarter of 2018 & plan to add more each year there after.

You raise it to $515, but offer the discounted rent of $500 each month a current renter's insurance policy is shown (paid monthly, quarterly, yearly).

If I have my head straight, claiming less depreciation now will result in a little more tax each year, but less recapture tax at a 25% rate when I sell. 

How do you all see the new tax plan affecting your taxation?

If you are going through an Agent - I would check with him/her what the annual taxes are.the tax due of $1,111.28 may be a quarterly or semi annual payment.Some properties have a "County tax" "Municipal Tax" and "School tax" so make sure you capture all of them.

I went on to give real estate investing a full hearted attempt in the first quarter of this year, but did not end up making a purchase.I'm now thinking of investing in multi family out of state, and I'm wondering if there are any books on that topic that I should check out.

or Will they collect 25% of monthly/quarterly/annual net profits then if/when it's sold, they will collect their principle on the exit?
