To find something nice at $400k and below, I recommend looking around the suburbs of Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander to the north, or Buda and Kyle to the south.

Can any investors in Albuquerque point me to a reasonable, well rounded, and responsible handyman?

@Travis WattsIt’s all speculative at this point.I can see bonus depreciation being limited or eliminated.

I don't round the corners on my countertops, I don't place the matches on the top shelf where they are out of reach of children, and I don't warn them about the dangers of microwaving children.I'm pretty sure every American has heard about hand washing a thousand times over by now.

It is 2 hours round trip just driving.

Changes from new rulings on The JOBS Act under Title III are likely to materially alter the financing landscape at least through Series A rounds. 

Some states don't have an income tax and don't require a tax return filing obligation.Some states allow for bonus depreciation/section 179 expenseSome states don't allow bonus depreciation/section 179 expenseSome states follow federal guidelines for real estate professional status, some don't.

One thing you can do is after liquidating your holdings and purchase rental property, is do a segregation analysis and take all the bonus depreciation you can to offset those gains.

Having some professional pictures of your property would be an added bonus. 

I have so many clients who get upset at me when they aren't given the opportunity to negotiate --- yes, sometimes the sellers will just choose from the first round of offers.Highest and best doesn't preclude negotiating.
