An SD IRA is a good mechanism, but it really an antiquated system that Equity Trust uses.

I work for an agency in the antique district on orange ave and we are investors as well.

Set aside anything that looks like it might be reusable or sellable as an antique.

As another post mentions above, the antiquated municipality system generates wildly varying tax rates in communities that border one another. 

My research leads me to believe that a specific mortar needs to be used, as the stone and antique brick are not as strong as modern day products/construction.

There are, however, multiple antique shops and restaurants that have been there for many years.I have a client with several rentals in the Globe and Kearny area.

They tenants sold their house and apparently are financially stable, Sellers said they have been wonderful to live, pay their rent on time etc and they would like to say - all sounds good until you see the apartment - they have a lot of stuff, they took the contents of their house to the apartment and it's like entering a very old antique shop, wall to wall covered in stuff - barely room to walk - we can keep them or we can have it vacant - the only thing is it probably wouldn't be available to rent until Dec 1 which isn't a great time to rent.We could give them the option to stay until March 31st but as they are older @ 60 +  we are a little uneasy if they couldn't wouldn't leave with all their stuff.Thanks for any feedback.

I believe the house- judging from the excellent neighborhood (antique, beautiful homes in a quiet neighborhood surrounding a park), and current comparable listings- is worth quite a lot (comparables are ~200k).

Something subjective like art or antiques are always a good bet.

Replaced by higher end clothing retailers, antique shops, nicer restaurants (Hodads being a hangover because of the quality of their burgers), etc.
