Only if you want to defer the tax. 

Presentation and management style matters A LOT, in my market there's plenty of rental histories that are low on properties that can and will perform very well when managed properly.Check out comparable properties and see what their rates are at for different seasons.  

With listening devices, security devices and cameras present in many homes these days, it's getting more and more common for sellers to surveil their property during showings and open houses.Have you ever said (or done) anything during a showing that would embarrass you, or give the seller an unfair negotiating advantage?

They should have a deferred maintenance program set up to keep your property in great condition, they should be doing yearly property inspections to make sure your tenants are keeping up on the place, and they should be getting you rent increases each year to keep your ROI increasing with the market.

I present the deal with the fee included.

Hi everyone,At a recent Mass Landlords meeting in Worcester, the presenter said that to get a rental unit deleaded is running about 8-10k these days.  

You could defer those taxes to a later date and get into a larger property which actually makes money.

That said, it is helpful to consider market cycles and at present we are a long way into a growth cycle.From an investment success perspective here's what you can do to protect yourself in the event there is a downturnFocus on the right asset – we like the multifamily asset class because multifamily real estate is popular during times of uncertainty because during these times, people prefer renting and because it is valued intrinsically it is less prone to large swings in sentiment which can impact the value of single-family homes.Diversify your Portfolio – real estate has low correlation to stocks and bonds and this makes it a hedge against the stock market.

Its about being conscious or aware of the present and not going to fare into negative thoughts.

@Anita Fulton what you paid for in 2005 is absolutely irrelevant to present day value.
