I boost capex to 10 percent if there is deferred maintenance or the property is older than 1970.I boost maintenance to 10 percent if property located in a “C” grade area or below.Best of luck

So the two part reinvestment rule says that in order to defer all gain  you must do two things.1.

I’ve seen homes for 50k there but it won’t be rehabbed and you’ll probably have some deferred maintenance

Seller could give waiver of security deposit or half or free months rent to get them in at higher amounts to try and show more income to sell.The 50 to 60% operating expenses DOES NOT include immediate deferred capex for repairs needed.

Deferred cosmetic mainence will need to be addressed, floors, walls, kitchen, etc.  

I gotta get rid of it, but I'm deferring the loss. you can sell it, lose money now, but fresh start.

In any case the sooner you convert to a rental the better as then you will start avoiding and deferring taxes, and freeing up more money to invest.

Holding the mortgage should defer taxes over a longer period of time.Reality is that the taxes have always been owing you simply deferred them during ownership so you pay what is owing regardless.

. $150,000 total investment less $54,545.00 Depreciation = Not taxable amount of $95,455.00 So if your property has doubled in value to $300,000.00 you will owe capital gains tax at your current rate on a profit of $204,545.00Unless you can defer that tax with a Starker Exchange, the question you need to ask is at the new tax rate, can you afford to pay the tax? 

In addition to likely causing a faster more efficient cleanup, the potential stigma of a Superfund NPL listing will be deferred and likely eliminated.Of course there are plenty more details so feel free to PM if you'd like but to answer your question, I have not seen nor do I expect to see property values or rental demand effected by the mine status.Regards,AB
