Did you end up networking with anyone? 

My tax person says I can deduct a % of the repairs I've done based on the SQ Footage of the basement unit.

They probably had to come up with money to cover a lien claim or such, resulting in the charge. 

I recently learned that if you owner occupy a residence for part of the 5 previous years before sale, and you rent it for the remaining time, you can calculate the percentage of time the property was owner-occupied (and thus qualifies for the sec. 121 primary sales tax exemption of up to $250k for single filers) vs the time it was being rented (which qualifies for 1031 exchange) and claim both benefits. https://hcsequity.com/blog/combining-1031-exchange-with-121-....How does this work for a multi-family?

How the blank are they gonna keep the properties repaired?  

It clicked then why the interest rate was so high (8.4%) and why closing costs were higher than expected. 

It's a risk you run on the anonymity side, however, if someone looks up the address now, do they not see your name?

Is there anything I can do in the run up until the purchase to be prepared for doing a bonus depreciation or cost segregation report etc....?

I learned the hard way that properties don’t pay rent—tenants do.

An opportunity has come up to purchase a 16 unit apartment.
