Good points.I'd add square, level, plumb - license, insurance, bond - using permits to follow codepointing out problems the owner doesn't realize they have that are serious. 

You would then weigh out a lower closing price due to the bitcoins and then you would use the lower price as the principal for the loan. 

This can then be used as a negotiation chip in order to lower the price of the property.

Rentals are extremely difficult to make pencil right now but would only personally consider higher end projects because the costs are far easier to absorb than trying to build in lower value neighborhoods.

These markets are attractive because of their diverse, resilient economies, lower priced homes, and stable home price appreciation.

If average sale for the area is 200,000 at 3 percent = 6,000You would need to close then 20 transactions in a year at the 3% level for 200k price to get the 120,000 commission.4.

Would the IRS allow them to benefit from a 1031 Exchange if they would be "swapping" a million-dollar rental for one that is much lower in price?

Will you get a lower rate waiting? 

Basically, there's no free lunch when it comes to taxes.Depreciating property lowers your tax basis.

I invest primarily in a lower cost area but also own property in, and am looking in, a higher cost area.
