Pre-rental taxes can be an itemized personal deduction (Schedule A) if you don’t exceed the $10,000 state and local tax limit.Expenses incurred to get the property ready for rental, but before it is actually available for rent could be added under startup cost and can deduct up to$5,000 in the first year, if total start-up costs are $50,000 or less. 

I'm currently in the Lafayette, La market interested in learning more about analyzing deals with a buy and hold mindset. 

The first month was an intro letter and every month after that will be a Market Brief, which I've attached here.

BP, I’m looking at an 8-unit deal in the Northeast that was historically a non-profit co-op with tenants already in place at substantially below market rents.

When you get back, go to local real estate meetups to get comfortable with what other investors are doing and meet some veterans who invest, there are a lot of them!

And, residents need employment; otherwise, units are full but some can't pay.In many markets, there's a pretty large jump from C to D class...and in most markets, D class takes very hands on, local management.

I am looking to connect with local investors.

Any land agents local to Rockport, Indiana here?

The market rent needs to be around $1,800 per side and no more than 2k a month (depending of finshes) I'm having a hard time getting someone to nail down a price on construction cost.

I live in a cheaper market with a lot of sub-75k properties.
