Our niche market was East of HWY 71 and South of 50th St until 120th st.I would consider these areas to be C and B.Condo's on the plaza are quite expensive and the numbers don't justify them as good investment IMO.

That being said, I pick cash flow (B/C, not D) all day.Mike F. 

I would say consult with your attorney b/c things like this probably vary state by state and situation by situation.

schedule E is income/expenses by property (A,B,C,etc). although it doesn't matter that you cant insert trust deed income into a schedule E b/c it's taxed as ordinary income.

I accept b/c that represented a $40k profit and I already had my eye on another project.  

I didn't used to like Wal-Mart b/c there is never any parking but that place is a huge networking arena all the time!

Regardless, a BBB rating below "C" is very noteworthy, and not in a  good way.Paying the appraiser directly and before closing is normal with a mortgage broker.There are certainly plenty of mortgage brokers out there where you would not have to ask this question.As for your bank, I wouldn't knowingly do the loan with someone known for bad customer service.

If you are scared to disclose your profit, maybe that is an indication things are not kosher with the deal.Depending on who the A seller is and who the C lender is, you may be legally obligated to disclose too.
