If you view "partially responsible" as 10% of the cost and they won't eat $50 to make you happy that says as much as anything else.  

I remember my parents complaining in 1983 how Mountain View was 2x more expensive than Orange County!

Contributions into a different entity after completion of a 1031 are not viewed unfavorably.You can always do 1031s.  

I am looking for views from the professionals and non-professionals in the D.C. area on looming changes in the investment prospectives with the new Trump administration.

However, the cash on cash for the property is now over 20%, which is very tough to find in today's market.Once I've refinanced, the way I try to view it is by taking the amount I have in the property (ex. 25k) and subtracting closing costs of a few thousand (ex. 5k for simplicity), would I pay a multiple of 5 (20% down) for that property given current condition and rents?

After that, move to the middle income areas for a better balance of cash/wealth accumulation.My main concern is how the local housing authority would view D area rentals.

You don't have to do it daily, but try to group showings together/back to back etc. this creates competition when applicants see other applicants viewing the property.

I keep telling him "I am not an agent I cannot take him out to view properties or assist him in purchasing one".

I have no physical experience with the topic and am not providing any legal advice, simply offering my views on the issue.

After reading, watching many video and gaining a ton of point of views on investing, I came across this question....Can I legally enter into a "subject to" agreement with the owner while they have a property up for sale as a short sale or anytime during the foreclosure process?
