The tax rules are really complex and always changing in investment real-estate and an accountant who owns some himself will naturally know the rules better and more intuitively know if you might have missed a deduction or expense.  

Know a good deal when you see one, help the seller, put EMD skin into it, follow through and provide your buyers a valuable service.  

Account Closed I understand having skin in the game, but what should I be looking at for a deciding factor? 

About Bigger Pockets: I am quite impressed with the humble nature of this website and the people on it, with the podcasts, with the blogs, the forums, everything.

They will furnish the house - I did offer to lease furniture for them naturally at a higher cost as I've looked into this before on another property and have had quotes done.Any quick input/responses appreciated.

Of course, that's statistics, and naturally it doesn't apply in every case.

Lease Option:  I like that buyer has skin-in-the-game with the non-refundable $4,000 option fee.  

I want to create business cards, and things of that nature but my issue is a website.

No skin in the game, I've just had good experiences with them.Happy to discuss the market from a rental/investor's standpoint if that's of any interest to you, but I can summarize by saying that single family rentals throughout the Sacramento MSA are very hot right now and south Placer county is the hottest of all.  

Hard to follow all the details here and check your numbers, so my only comments on the plan is you're (A) exchanging your equity for present cash flow and (B) benefitted from an abnormal and historical rise in values on your SD portfolio.Both of these are highly dependent on market dynamics in both locations and how they go in the coming months and years (more so than a plan that is single market or simpler in nature).Other thought is you're trying to get really large cash flows, which have high tax implications you don't have with the condos.
