After reading your profile, you of all people should understand the use of efficiency and tools to improve your processes.  

Here's a tool to get an estimate on property tax in Lexington County...http://www.lex-co.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=w...I think it's last year's millage rates but it should be close enough for estimating expenses.Hope this helps!

(This is consistent with your original message).4 - I brought up the issue of the LLC liability issue - where a personal tax position (using schedule E) being used as a primary tool for piercing the corporate veil was used and the room primarily pooh-poohed such a concept and said there was clearly more to the story than what I was getting.  

You see I come from a hands on trade (tool and die maker) and now have a desk job (Engineer) and enjoy both.

A few tools, a calm head, a beer . . . . it's all good.

Trulia, zillow and homefinder would be helpful tool. 

Anyone used this tool?

I was speaking with them about the rental guarantee and it is by a third party insurance company which I found unique but interesting being that I would be an absentee investor sounds like a good marketing tool for the investor that is just getting into turnkey. 

These are tools that will retain the tax-sheltered status of the funds, but allow you greater investment choices, including real estate.All income will go to the plan.  

This house has been on the market for a while, and I noticed a $10k drop in price.I tried the BP analysis tool for the first time today and this seems like a good deal.
