I have not been paying attention to those borderline OC/LA cities.

In Colorado the title company does not allow closing until the tax lien expires (bank owned properties), if you purchase with a tax lien in place you can wait out the expiration (I believe typically 120 days), if you bring it to attention they might settle with you, although that means paying at least some of it.

If you sell a house you've owned more than one year the gains are "long term capital gains".

Plus, they point out that the properties are nicely rehabbed, in solid neighborhoods with high rental demand, tenants are rigorously screened, and to cap it off, the buyer may well sell the property at a big gain well before these repairs and capital expenses start hitting (remember, you presumably "captured" a boatload of equity when you purchased), at which time you can roll into another property.At any rate, if you hold the property, the assumption is that Years 2-30 will experience none of these expenses.

The appraiser thanked me for making it smooth for him to gain access, etc.The buyers agent was not happy that it came in "high".

Paid closer attention to hvac simple routine maintenance - changing filters, keeping overgrowth away from the A/C.

Is it about gaining relationships with Brokers and top agents kinda like residential?

I even offered to pay them something just to get their attention, and that did not help either.

So I we knew a sales pitch was coming.We had Alan Swails in Atlanta, GA. In

All of my rentals have positive cash flow before the depreciation is taken out and my corporation always shows a gain but very little after all my write offs.
