Warning:If you depreciate a property down near zero and then have to sell your property at a loss during a situation of distress...You could end up giving all the proceeds to the bank AND owe the IRS a big chunk of money for recapture.Long-term tax planning with real estate needs to be coupled with risk management and making sure you don't lose any properties.

This provision, through the Affordable Homes Act, make ADUs legal BY RIGHT in any single family zoned property in the state.

I just bought my sixth property and State Farm is telling me they have a limit of covering a maximum of six units for an individual.

Held for 1 year, completed updates, the property appraised enough to justify sale.

- Property Managers that you would highly recommend? 

Building a strong team (agent, contractor, lender, property manager) is key—seek referrals from experienced investors.

Also as I understand it qualification for these loans are based on the property as opposed to the borrower.

I walked to the house and met a man who says he was cleaning out due to the loss of their mother in some few weeks back.The guy told me she is  left with 12 years mortgage on the property to pay the bank.

I would make improvements to the property only when doing so would cost less than the value added to the property.
