Upon relocating to Lima one of the things I really enjoyed was no traffic, so you would think Phoenix would be shocking...In actuality, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa for the most part are so new, and the infrastructure is so well designed, traffic is not an issue.

Also, I don't think we're going to get so much on the back-end back for closets on the back-end, by putting something for $3K+ in it, so worst case we'll do something simple and let them design to what they want.I will call up the Container Store and see what we can do.

What my question focuses on is the 7 year useful life category which is partially defined as "Any property that does not have a class life and has not been designated by law as being in any other class." 

In your case since your new just have a strong game plan and presentation to prove you know what your doing. 2 - Ensure them the process will be stress free and a smooth transition.3 - Quick and simple closing as opposed to the "nightmare" closings that traditional borrowers sometimes encounter.4 - Savings on Capital Gains5 - (In many cases they are older) I really push that the monthly payments are a nice gift to leave to their estate. 

You might also try working your own network to see if someone will lend/"gift" you the down pmt money with the agreement that you will pay them back with the profit from rent or perhaps offer an ownership stake in the property.

Hey gang,  I wanted to ask the people in the community what they thought about sourcing marketing to a site like yellow letters or open letter, or if people took the time to design the pieces themselves and maybe have them printed locally.Just looking for tips and tricks as my partner and I are getting ready to start marketing Sep. 1st. 

And the very sad thing here -- we are rendering higher education affordable for some of the most gifted, yet least financially fortunate, kids in this nation.

This is consistent, for example, with the intention of the legislation that the supply of a used residential complex, personal use property or qualifying farmland by gift or upon death is exempt under section 2, 9 or 10 of Part I of Schedule V, as the case may be, as an exempt supply of the property by way of sale even though there may be no agreement to transfer ownership of the property.

The original electrical would have been installed to run a few incandescent bulbs, a radio or two and perhaps an early appliance and was not designed to handle today's electronic demands.Another thing to keep in-mind, depending on when the property was converted to apartments, is that the conversion may not - quite likely will not - meet current fire codes, which will both impact your insurance rates and your renovation costs when you do undertake a substantial rehab.That gorgeous exterior, with it's clapboard/shakes (or era brickwork) and elaborate trim will be high maintenance - that does not mean it's not "worth it", just that you need to budget accordingly.Personally, I enjoy performing deep energy retrofits on these old buildings (which can be very solidly built), but it can be an involved and costly experience, hence we are always looking for the unloved and run-down which can be purchased cheaply.If that house has been 200+ days on market - and no other landlord or investor has touched it - tells me there is a problem with the value proposition of the deal.  

I've always had an insane drive and work ethic and I can't understand how anybody wouldn't want to be an entrepreneur.I'm particularly interested in doing real estate full time, I'm mainly interested in buying multi-family real estate, but I'd like to flip a few houses first in order to build my track record.I've done a lot of online marketing and I have experience in google advertising, facebook advertising, bing advertising, SEO (a little bit), email marketing, web design, and more.
