In response to your initial question, J Scott "hit the nail", build the pro-forma and determine price.

I do believe a state agency can nail you on that approach if they decide to shorten their 4 hour coffee breaks.

You use that to offset your net income from the property and if the income is lower than that - it can offset other investment income, and eventually even 3,000 of your doctor income.You get nailed on this when you sell - because deprecation reduces you 'cost basis' - so your 'gain' gets bigger - even if you sell it for the same 1 million after 30 years, instead of having no gain, you have depreciated it down to zero, so you have a million dollar gain.

Nailed it.

Marie this goes directly to my point in the post about buying junior loans with the intent to not pay the senior loan.Just cause everyone is doing it doesn't make it ok or mean they won't come back later and try to nail you for it.

Kyle hit the nail on the head.

Any pet stains, or chew marks or claw/nail scratches on flooring, doors, walls, cupboards, screens, etc are pet damage, not normal wear and tear.

@Karin DiMauro hit the nail on the head.

They are losing hope because with their damaged credit history, they are getting rejected for even renting, so they know they will probably have to move out, but they haven't been able to nail down a destination.

After work, every night for a month I spent hours in Home Depot buying anything from nails and drywall to kitchen cabinets and plumbing.
