I think my best bet will bet to look into the Section 121 exclusion and have him sell it to me.

I would personally avoid violent crimes, our tenant had made a bad choice but it wasn't a violent one. 

And with RE there are many choices of investment types.

In any case, consulting with an attorney is your best bet before doing anything that seems tricky with bill language.

I bet that if you text or call a few of the agents you know (or if you contact a few in our investor-friendly agent directory here) that they will get back to you promptly and you will be glad you worked with an agent rather than trying to close a property on your own. 

In their markets that could be the wise choice  But SF  LA Seattle  etc these are different animals. 

However, syndications are more suited to taking care of certain elections/choices(cost segregation) that may be overlooked by the individual investor.Furthermore, when you are an investor in a syndication, you are at the mercy of the syndicator to provide you the K-1 before you can file your return.

You're best bet is too talk to a local realtor and ask for some recent comps in the area.

He states our best bet is to try to work with him.What hurts the most is that he would not release the names of the HVAC people so we can discuss with them directly finishing the work.

Well I would reach out the team and Members of COREE, I bet they have some great property managers to recommend https://www.centralohioreia.co...
