They were in the framing stage and I didn’t see anyone on the job site.

But with so little of your own money in the deal after Refi, and only a small amount in the red per month, your equity looks OK at that stage, provided your valuation holds true.Do you rate it and the area for future healthy capital gain?

and by closing stage, do you mean you are in contract and entering due diligence...or are you past inspection and moving to close the deal?

They have a tendency to stand out like a sore thumb which means they will be challenged and tax, interest and penalties can be huge if they are not determined to be lawful.I've seen many cases where folks have sold a business and as a result have a huge one time gain and thus shopped the National law and accounting firms for tax strategies to find an offset only to be utterly destroyed on audit.You might research the BOSS, SON of BOSS tax, etc., tax avoidance transactions where people with gains in the hundreds of millions range fabricated offsetting loses and got absolutely crushed (and this was with supporting tax opinions in hand and top flight tax people defending them at great expense).

I'm in a stage of obsession currently haha Dmitriy, thank you!

Hey @Kelly Anna Geiser interior design is used all of the time for us investors needed to stage a home.

So here is my Question for all the experts out there, before I go crazy....This is my first year in Real Estate Investing, I retired from the Army about a year ago, bought my first property before I got out (3 Plex) I live upstairs and have 2 Vacation Rentals below, then bought a single family home (SFH) (rehabbed and staged as another Short-Term Rental (STR)), then bought another SFH and set up as STR, and did this again.... 

I take my exam on the 22nd and wanted to reach out and ask the pros what is crucial to the beginning stages of my career?

Not yet we are in the beginning stages!
