Over the past few months I have been contacted more than once to step into a project mid stream and offer my assessment or bid to provide the property owner a life vest so to speak.

Since commercial valuation is based heavily on tenant income streams, doesn't having a commercial space being fully occupied help when you are selling (whether by choice or being forced to due to lack of refi options) and also help bolster application when you are seeking refinance?

I just believe that people who are making good money doing this wont confirm it because it is a nice income stream if you know what you are doing.As I said before I am charging ahead with it and I will let you all know how it goes.

So, you are OK are in trouble.As the building gets bigger, you start having diverse revenue streams.

She is unable to be hands on whatsoever, and just wants something safe that will produce an income stream.

The water gushed in into the hallway and basement. 30min later, another water pipe bursted on 2nd fl bathroom, the water was then streaming from the ceiling going down to the 1st floor another tenant’s bedroom( we caught right away and used the bucket to catch the water) which affected 1st floor tenant.

Basically the pipe becomes a giant resistor which heats up and melts the ice.Not every pipe that freezes breaks.In the future leave a pencil lead size stream of water running in the sinks and tubs and it will at least protect those lines.

It seems like if you have multiple businesses or streams of income and can declare the right portions as earned income you can exceed the $52k threshold that would normally be imposed by I.R.C Section 415(c) which is linked here for convenience:I.R.C Section 415(c)Once you "use up" the $17.5k for a 401(k) you seem to be able to shelter up to 18% of the profit afterwards.  

If you want a weak stream of hot water (or mixed hot/cold), there may not be enough flow to trip the tankless heater.  

Since I do buy and hold, I'm hoping that day is very very far away.Never discount the power of multiple streams of income.
