In many states If the tree falls on her property she’ll have to make a claim with her insurance, not yours. 

A simple 5% return per year gets you $50k/year...and you still have the $1M to adjust to inflation by reinvesting into different vehicles along the way.Focusing on taking the long term returns ($$$/year) can be a better choice, but you have to look at the long term impact with all your options, compare them, and then make a choice.Do you think they teach that in school now? 

Perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge of the area can validate or dispel the type of neighborhood this is but it’s normally not good if that’s one of the first things to populate on the internet.

Your focus on multifamily and syndications is ideal for long-term wealth building.

Can anyone recommend an agent working on the Eastern Shore of Maryland?

One of the few multi family properties in this SF neighborhood that had gone up for sale in the last 3 years. 3 story on a large lot, 1952 build with great bones.

I have a listing that would be a good fit for the BP community but wanted to get some guidance on the process.I also wanted to hear other people's experience with listing on the BP platform.

Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.

Ususally we buy, live in them, fix up and move on (never really thinking about being an investor, we just liked doing it).

I'm looking for advice on how to proceed with a partner buyout.
