One of the current tenants gets a discount for lawn care and snow removal so I didn't even think about property maintenance.

I reported the interest I earned from my notes there.But, since I bought my notes at a discount, I also earned income from the notes due to the discount element.

Additionally, If this ends up in court, I would not want to try to explain to the judge (or anyone else) why I kept 6-months prepaid rent from a victim of domestic violence.  

I look for appreciation in value by buying at a discount, either through finding good deals or by forcing it through rehab and renovation.

Tony Karns Pm my and I will send our discounted properties.

I would advise that you get some additional info:- what type of damage (wind, flood, fire, etc.)- what coverage do they have      is there coverage for flood?

The price is at a discount and the house needs a full reno but the comp ranges are extremely tricky.

Borders and borders will do LLC prep as part of closing at a discount.

In retirement, real estate will be pretty much your only available tax write for what I anticipate to be significant income when you combine ss plus your 401k and other investment streams etc.I look at my businesses as additional cash flow that help to accelerate my rei and do not count on that cash whatsoever to live.

There are a lot of things you can invest in relative to real estate and get a good returns with additional appreciation.
