If one lump-sum payment could trigger capital gain tax for them, spreading it over several years could actually eliminate the tax!

2) I would never pull the trigger on a deal unless I see the entire property, including detached garages.

I don't plan to pull the trigger till I've networked more in the area and have built a little more in funds for the investment.  

News articles are sometimes are triggered by corporations with underlying interests.

On current tenants, I agree, that's harsh I never recommend implementing new foreign fees or changes to current, but on move-outs you could do it with the applicants...

If I were going to pull the trigger, I would probably go to a reia meeting and see who needs such funding.  

If you get into a full demolish there are other endorsements over the general policy limits that trigger as well, i.e. debris removal.Every time I have seen ordinance and law used, it pays the total costs of system upgrades to the damaged and undamaged portions of the property, subject to the limit of the endorsement. 

@Jeremy Hostetler Havent pulled the trigger on anything yet.

It seems like the property will pay for itself comfortably with a 1.67 DSCR so you could always pull the trigger and then pivot down the road to a different investment model with the STR if it made sense.  

I talked it over with a more experienced investor and finally pulled the trigger...Result?
