@Kelly McMillan,Write these words on the wall over your desk:Screening is important BEFORE they move in;Inspections are critical AFTER they are living there.It should never come as a surprise that you could smell the urine from a soaked floor from outside the door. 

I just asked her if she would consider me working with her, and (to my surprise) she said "OMG definitely yes!".

This is the time to buy a lot of the south city area is going through a transition right now.. buildings that were abandoned for years are being bought up left and right and renovated....you be surprised at how many dumpsters you will see out on the streets through out the area.

Tax reform was passed and tax professionals were looking to properly implement the changes from the tax reform, more specifically section 199A, qualified business income deduction.If the entities only activity is ownership in an apartment complex and the books/records are accurately kept along with there not being too many partners in the entity or much change in ownership in the entity, then yes, early in the year is feasable.However, if there is a lot of changes in ownership during the year and there is a lot of activity with ownership in other entities, then it may be difficult to have the return filed by 3/15.A lot of large syndicaitons do issue "estimate K-1's" before 4/15 so investors can file a proper extension.I also know Partners at a lot of large public accounting firms were not signing any partnership return that had 199A implications before 3/15.I am surprised everyone said they got k-1's by end of January...sometimes the IRS and states doesn't even release forms by that date...

I’m continually surprised at how small of companies can still have this problem.

I'm gutting and renovating the apartments to appeal to the surprising number of wealthy NYC transplants that are coming to the area.

Its surprising how little lawyers or property managers can do for you when things go south.

I only mentioned the bias comment when you alluded to the notion that your tenants were not low income and made a lot, which for some reason surprised you that they broke the door.

While prices are high, people out west and northeast still are surprised at how affordable the area still is.

I am surprised something like this was able to happen.
