Hence, they remain relatively flat in price.  

Our federal return remains the same but our state return is about $1000 lower than normal because CA doesn't have capital gains and it is taxed as normal income.

(From this, if mortgage owner pay regularly from the beginning, then remaining 22K makes sense)Another thing is that owner processed a line of credit (100K) against the property in 2007.

HUD wanted me to either overnight the funds or drive to the title company to give the remaining deposit by this morning, according to the broker.

At the end of the holding period all remaining capital will be inject into kitchen and bathroom.

so when I see the report,  it will show that 2 toilets went to one house,  the remaining 3 went to 3 different houses. yet,  it was just a single transaction.. but it requires diligence and you to be on top of it daily or at least weekly. 

How the laws pan out over time creates all kinds of weird distortions, much higher rents for the remaining units available (and higher fair market rent increases over time), portion of slummy buildings over time, less availability for new people coming into town and locals' household formation, etc..

I still can't bring myself to commute further than my living room and my office remains vacant, no electric on and not furnished...

@Angela Fisher, do mean $300k out of pocket for the down payment, closing/holding costs, and repairs, while financing the remaining balance of the purchase price? 

That right has always remained with the actual owner/holder.
