How exactly does the gain "pass through" to the personal tax return as a capital gain?

How to get more creative types of financing so I don't have to stop getting properties while I wait for the old rentals to gain equity.3. what to do next ie more rentals, buying land and starting a sub-division.thats about it for now.

It will be re-assigned to another broker/agent on their list.Listing residential REO ship sailed long ago.Many of my broker friends have stopped listing for banks and work on the buy side more as they pick up a bonus.On the REO side you get hit with BS certifications from asset companies wanting hundreds of dollars a year to be a MEMBER and POSSIBLY land a listing.When you do it's a POC (piece of crap) and you have to outlay a money with rekey and trashout,cash for keys etc. in some cases and wait for the money to be paid back to you.If you have a buyer for the property try to deal with FNMA.If you are just after a listing you need to go with a big reo brokerage already established and be a buyers broker.As local and regional banks have told me they get calls almost everyday from agents wanting to list their REO's.I am more valuable as I focus on the commercial side so they don't get as many of those specialized types.If you are the broker you can go to the local banks and offer to do it cheaper for volume and land business that way.Thanks

He gets rid of his loosing property, doesn't have to pay capital gains, gets his full asking price and you get an interest free mortgage on the building for 15 years.

Like people who are name droppers to gain creditability.Many of the deals that are handled over the counter and outside of traditional channels have something odd about them.

Calling directly into the law firm and getting quick assistance was valuable. 

You have the opportunity, here, to be represented by an agent for free.If you interview and find a good agent, then they become a valuable member of your team.

Right now I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can from school, RE books, etc, to try and gain a competitve advantage.

Would it be a wise decision to jump in the market, while I have an opportunity to make substantial gains in the next few years?

So, I have gained a lot of experience in many different areas.
