I've learned here that developing better systems, delegation of work/ responsibilities and building a team is the only way to maintain or increase project flow with the goal of achieving a better quality of life.  

Seems like there could be a noticeable increase in cashflow if I could convert away from oil.

I tried to stay away from really small markets.Then I looked at what the average cap rate properties were selling for and chose the top 5 attractive markets from my remaining list.

In order to gain control of the property and to have a structure to attract more investors I'd like to have a record of assets that are owned by the company, which becomes difficult when the titles do not reference the company or any relationship with the company.  

As others have mentioned when your building gets big enough a cost seg can pencil and accelerate the depreciation and increase the write offs further.

This will increase the likelihood that your reappraisal will be higher than the purchase price.

These costs are generally not something you can get increased cash flow for, nor recoup.

The question is, if you make some decent repairs to it, can you increase rents?  

you have to tell your buyer, likley illegal not to, but you dont want it blowing up an escrow...... but if the house didnt cause the murders... aka it was an angry spouse, could have happened anywhere, not because of neighbors or a local gang etc.... then price it attractively and people will overcome the ick factor.  

FORECLOSURE: A seven year waiting period is required, and is measured from the completion date of the foreclosure.A three year waiting period is permitted if extenuating circumstances [EC: non recurring events that are beyond control that result in a sudden, significant and prolonged reduction in income or a catastrophic increase in financial obligations]  can be documented and the lesser LTV of 90% or the standard product guidelines.
