Many people seem to complicate valuation issues more than needed, a strait forward way of looking at it is simply asking, "Would a buyer pay more for ...?"

If you decide not to utilize a 1031 and pay 30% taxes each time, after 10 transactions you’ll be left with a little bit over $2,000,000.

I well say if you break down all the bills the HOA is paying, good chance you would personally be paying out a similar fee.As for the actual revenue I would want the address to see the property.

I am considering two options for purchasing a A+++ SFR cash, Option 1 to place in a self directed IRA and let the IRA own the property and Option 2 is to buy in cash upfront and pay the taxes owed.I am 62 years old and have another five to seven years prior to retirement and so I am trying to set up my portfolio for income generation by that time.

They did not sell me the expensive package, but they got me absolutley excited about real estate! 

I am in the Tampa Bay Florida area and look forward to meeting, working and learning from those who are willing to share your knowledge.Hi Allison, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio. 

(Minus the small percent of the payments they’ve made that’s been considered capital gains.)My understanding is the 60 payments they make will be split up in to interest (regular taxes), capital gains (15% usually), and principle pay down (non-taxable.).

Just a thought.Depends on if you have cash reserves to cover the pipe replacement now; if not, you could save a certain amount each month to put towards eventual replacement.I guess you just have to decide if you want to pay to have the pipes replaced now, or at an unexpected time in the future. 

Would love long term rentals paying my dividends but old homes in Florida area give me stress that one year it can all get wiped out with nothing to show from it. 

fast forward to 2000s my mom asked me to pay the property taxes so Ive been paying it since then.
