Final question, I have always done my own taxes because they were pretty simple using turbo tax, but I also never had an investment property.

It could be as simple as the ceiling is detaching from the ceiling studs...but why?

Sadly we live here and 2 of our 13 rentals are in this county and see it first hand.We got something that was simple like fixed by calling both of our county board members.

You just have to show them value in a very simple way.Word of advice, though.

Nothing.His office said he is around, but busy with meetings, clients.I asked if someone else can show me said property, they said I will have to call him because "he play his cards very close to his chest"...okay, I am not playing anything, I am looking for him to return a simple phone call.Now get this, during this week of me trying to get a hold of him, the price of the property dropped twice.Twice, and not returning calls.Think he has a buyer lined up and this is just to get the prices gravitating to his buyers pre-agreed upon number while telling the bank there have been no interest?

@Graham Mink that would be too simple.

To be simple put in 100k and in one year the return would be to them??

So easy and simple, yet so brilliant!

Hi Anne, I will try to make this simple.

I talked to the neighbors today and asked some simple questions like, septic or sewer, was anyone hanged or murdered here, when is the last time you saw the previous owners.
