I have began my journey by educating myself through reading (and listening to) dozens of real estate, business and self improvement books.

Now her cash flows look like this.Year 0) -100k (-100k from principle investment)1) 10k = (10k from cash flow, 2.5k depreciated)2) 10k = (10k from cash flow, 2.5k depreciated)3) 10k = (10k from cash flow, 2.5k depreciated)4) 10k = (10k from cash flow, 2.5k depreciated)5) 115.5k = (100k from return of principle + 30k from equity - 4.5k from 15% capital gains - 10k paid as recapture)Total Return: 55.5kor if she reinvests that extra 2.5k every year at 10%Total Return: 56.6kIRR: 10.8%Isabel only sees an improvement of 0.4% to her IRR or an extra 1.6k if she invests the extra cashflow. 

All other home improvement work just has to be registered — basically shows proof of insurance.

Hi All, I ve hard time to find an answer to my question online, I bought a vacant land in 2017, then built a house on it.The construction, permit included took 2.5 yearsSo now, in 2020 the house is ready to sale.Can I say that I improved my land with a new construction for almost 3 years and assume I will have to pay a long term capital gain ? 

Maintenance and minimal improvements What was the outcome?

Idea is/was to lower my P&I and improve cash flow, etc... 

Will getting a HELOC for a house owned outright (let's say...300k+) be enough/improve chance to get approved for multiple conventional investment property loans on 1 income?

Based on our research, this seems to be a controversial case with several possible interpretations (below) we want to check with the community about their experience for the same.1.No, as this is a replacement of unit of property” (UOP) explicitly defined by IRS – this is an improvement with 27.5 years lifetime and can be only deprecated.

This area has undergone a major gentrification and continues to improve.  

I’m a home improvement contractor so I’ve done flips, new construction, roof raise and full renovations.
