If have to file an amended return, then My rate of return  is going to be crushed  by the cost of paying my accountant for the extra work.

Thanks folks!

I've only found negative reviews of folks who either 1. got refunded immediately because the firm stated they couldn't represent the property owner for whatever reason or 2. got refunded after the firm tried and couldn't get them a substantial reduction.

More traditional things I would suggest, billing back utilities, charging for pets, upgraded finishes to increase rents, charging fees for things like storage or extra parking.Authors I would suggest Ken Mcelroy and Dave Lindahl.

Hi Celina Lane , thanks for giving me an extra smile this morning (your Barbie doll development experience made me smile).

(Although we do transactions nationwide.)It's been our experience that there are not many of folks like us out there since I have a pretty hot list of buyers (flippers) that anxiously await me to send a deal their way. 

I am thinking about perhaps holding three months rent in escrow and asking her to stay a couple extra months ahead of rent.

We are open to occupying one unit of a duplex (to secure a lower interest rate) for example, and have a good friend who would rent a room in our residence - with an extra apartment (or possibly 2 if there is a basement) creating multiple revenue streams to quickly repay a relatively small mortgage.

If you ever get the time, I think typing up the details of the $62,000 lesson would be really interesting to read, and very useful for new folks. 

Hello, I am interested in buying a small single family house in a decent neighborhood (average median house price around 450k), but the seller would want to sell the land (50x100) next to it together for an extra 100k to make a deal. hypothetically I can negotiate it a lower price for the land (any suggestion on how to determine the value for the land), what kind of investment can I make to turn the land into something profitable rather than just being wasted?
