The advantage to be gained from component segregation is that you can structure the sale in such a way that the 5 and 15 year property is sold at its adjusted basis, so there would be no unrecaptured depreciation to tax for those items.

I have 2 properties to deal with here.Property #1 - first house bought with FHA loan, ARM that adjusts every year (1% max), is currently at 5.875%, due to drop to 4.875 in a few months. 30 year mortgage that has 13 years left.

The rent does not come close to covering the costs of ownership, and she's due for an adjustment on the loan at 5 years.

I've adjusted almost 1300 property claims.

Good thread for newbies like myself.Ive been getting outbid, or no response from REO offers this month and ws questioning if i needed to adjust my thinking.I try to look at propeties in the 150K range.For Flips id like to make 20K.And for Buy and hold properties i try to get abotu 250+ cash flow per month.This was based on conversations i had in some networking groups when i first started getting into this, but like i said wasnt sure if that was still applicable in this market.
