That way if any deal goes south, the loss is only a percentage of his total.

I would think you would sell if for a small loss and move on.

However, remember that the “official” inflation numbers do not include energy or food.

and also.... yes technically and legally, im "MOOT" from the contract, but my mom is simply a name and credit person. she takes no part in the project nor profits. everything gained or loss is all transferred to me and my partner and that includes any capital gain taxes. help :D

HiCould someone help me the following - As a passive investor, how does one claim the depreciation/losses from the investment property?

You want your LLC to be your property owner for Rental Real Estate income because you will have basis in the LLC and be able to deduct losses on your tax return and still have positive cash flow from non-taxable distributions.

After some small work needed on the outside, the house would cash flow, after property management, property repairs, vacancy loss, mortgage, taxes, and insurance, over $300/month.We are 19% undervalued and will be in good shape here within 3-5years.

Meanwhile, I saw people in the business quit on themselves after just a few headaches..A J.O.B. is NOT the answer... people relying on exchanging their hours for dollars are doomed to fail, because their employer is ALWAYS looking for a way to get their services at a lower rate... food for thought...Don't quit...

Those people will get out all together (some taking losses but most realizing nice gains) and get back into a more "texbook" diversified approach (until something esle gets hot).Investors that know and believe in RE for the long term will shift their focus but stay w/ it.

Here they are:1- Divorce2- Loss of Job3- Health issuesAnd my personal opinion of those statistics?
