My area is probably unique because there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of homes that are boarded up, but have huge potential.

Hi Britney, that's a great question and very personal and unique to each individual.

If you are organized then you can consider OOS investing, but I’d think hard about OOS if organization is not your strong suit.

Condos are unique real estate investments because a huge part of the value is determined by property that is under common ownership and which the unit ow er may have little control.  

Want to replace my camera and was wondering if a high end camera is something i can expense. i am talking $3k camera. i am a "high end" amateur photographer with good taste in cameras and lenses.

Of course i'll use i...

Even though I have been able to spend a little more time here recently, I have done so very quietly and parked my car elsewhere, I still can not get my work life organized as I fear freely coming and going, and not being at home makes it so discombobulating.( I am self employed and schedule inspection appointments and write reports for work) Narc. cop says be patient, but I will be bankrupt if something doesn't give sooner than later and even if I win (big if), or sell it will be months and I could have to pay all his expenses.

MFcan potentially give you more cash flow and higher ROI but as @Simon Campbell points out, they come with some unique sets of challenges that new investors might not be prepared for, namely, more transient tenants, higher vacancy rates and more repairs at turn over.

I'm guessing the buyer will have a unique purpose/use for it.

Since they are a non-profit organization if I discount the rent below the market value can I gain a tax advantage?

But again, you'll have to check with the HOA because they all have their own unique rules, like only using noisy power tools at certain times/days.
