I got paid off you got the house.. and in those days you usually got 5 to 8 grand back in cash out... now that was too aggressive and when landlords turned the keys back in in 08 to 2012 it was usually those with no TRUE skin in the game..

In general I agree that you shouldn't take a essentially risky investment and make it just for the tax benefits but some of these opportunities zones are in up-and-coming areas where you might want to invest anyway and if you're trying to decide between investing in an area that's up and coming in in an opportunity Zone and one that's up and coming and not in an opportunity Zone it would be crazy not to choose the one that's in the opportunity Zone particularly if you have some capital gains that you want to defer. the major benefit of opportunities on is that you can take capital gains from any investment class capital gains from a stock sale for example and use them to buy a business or real estate in an opportunity Zone provided you follow the rules and put it into an opportunity Zone fund and all that and then you can defer those games for up to 10 years but even more important part is if you do defer them for 10 years any games that you gained from the investment in the opportunity zone are 100% tax free.

Texas being a non-disclosure state, I understand most "free" online resources are not reliable source of pulling DFW area property comps (unless I am missing something?).

We have a property management company and my wife is using Quickbooks online and does most of the work entering all the receipts and tracking the accounts.  

Everyone can talk a big game but it comes down to execution. 

Technically it doesn't really change the game much.

Have them set up on automatic payments or using a program where they can either deposit it at a bank, online, or another payment station. 

I'm in charge of a small 3-unit HOA, just wondering if anyone is collecting payments from unit owners online in any way?

Kris thanks for the tips.

The tenant does everything online and I get the report.
