Lends creadance to the idea maybe in today's markets, it's dead.  

So if you do an exchange you are saving $100k in taxes today.

Maybe if you’re really willing to cash out, then buying bonds seems to be the strategy with the most certainty today.

We still use some of those same principles today.

Even with the reduced rates, my cash flow is poor for my equity position (i would still be cash flow negative at today’s rates).  

If I could rewind 7 years, I would’ve personally scooped up another property near downtown...prices were more forgiving back then.All that said, I’m curious..if you were getting back in the game today, would a condo with strong amenities but an unpredictable HOA top your list, or are you eyeing single-families for that full control?

Hey everyone,In today’s market, it feels like making deals pencil out is tougher than ever.

If I switch from blinds to rods, would I a) provide receipts for the rods and deduct in full - receipt furnished to tenant,  2) deduct cost of blinds as priced today but receipt would be for curtain rods, 3) deduct cost of blinds as outlined in the lease but provide receipt for curtain rods (explanation and receipt furnished) 4)  be forced to replace using the same blinds that were installed when tenant arrived n order to deduct. 

Hi Kyle, I'm trying to reach out as it's the right thing to do and I didn't see these until today.
