If I may ask for another piece of advice:The property is in Chelsea, MA -- but the same rules apply for contact so I'll look to gain entry there to find a more direct number.In the mean time, do you think I should get an estimate for any work that needs to be done on my side of the roof?

@Jennifer Gardner they IRS exclusion that I referenced only applies if you utilized the property as your primary residence for at least 2 of the past 5 years (which I did in my situation).

Go to Victorville or Apple Valley in California and investors can still earn 50% to 100% on their investment capital every 1 to 2 years because there are beautiful homes in California that are lower-priced that Columbus.Victorville and Apply Valley have homes for sale where there is huge potential.

I am working on applying for section 8 for the property right now thinking that may be easier than eviction for this current tenant who is not paying.  

There are two deeds of trust recorded, but both are showing that they were cancelled and no longer apply to the property.

My current property (that I'm considering selling) is not yet on the market and while there are other houses closer to me that I'd consider buying, I don't know how to have the 1031 work for me so not really sure how to navigate this "exchange".I've heard so many things (and read so many variations) of how the 1031 applies, I'd like to know how it really works, specifically:- If I sell my rental house, do I have to identify another house to purchase before I list this one?

We try to ensure the salt is applied enough to keep down dangerous/slippery ice and to keep the snow melted, but we don't want to go overkill having a "zero tolerance" ice policy like hospitals have, we just want to keep snow and ice down to an acceptable and safe level, without going over-budget.For some of our buildings where salt seems to be really deteriorating surfaces (mainly building sidewalks and masonry stairs) we thought about using a different product (either calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) however while they are less damaging than pure salt, they are also more expensive (something we are trying to avoid).What do you other landlords do that have midsize (10+ unit) buildings? 

Or does this only apply if you're refinancing it from the same lender?

There, unfortunately, is not an option of passing the exam, getting your license and collecting sales commission on your own.Do this for 2 years and you can be eligible to apply for your own firm license and be your own 1 person show.

When you are applying for the loan you would be required to list the debt as well as the cash in the bank.
