You basically write to the PA Department of Revenue asking for a release of lien.

That could essentially buy you a $100k property every single year, furthering your snowball process.My reco would be to read the "ultimate beginners guide" (found under "education" tab on this website) and start learning the basics of buy and hold investing.  

The "Reservation Fee" is paid by the guest and becomes part of your gross revenue.  

We made the unfortunate mistake of helping others, which essentially screwed us over.

Knowing your target area is essential and not something you can do with a few superficial conversations with people.

Essentially in Hammond, you're paying about $75 for the house per $1 in rent.

Essentially, high rents mean that the absolute dollar value of each of those things are high - real high. 

From my understanding, I will initially be spending $1 to save $0.40 but the depreciation deductions in the following years will essentially drive those two values closer together.So in this hypothetical scenario, the most beneficial vehicle would be a 6000>GVW non-passenger work vehicle such as a cargo van.

I've read that with offices "you're buying the leases and the building comes for free", but every office I see listed has 30-50% of revenue associated with leases expiring within 2-3 years.It's difficult to be confident in lease renewals when I see hundreds of office vacancies large and small around Michigan.

Essentially the interest costs are about $50 per month, per each $10,000 increment.
