Jeff, make a list of all the downside factors that could impact your bottom line profit over the next year.

The non-committed sibling finally calls me and complains that the rep, who she doesn't even know, is making false claims about her losing the property if she doesn't sign NOW and other high pressure tactics.I calmly answer her questions, invalidate the false claims made by the rep and soothe her concerns.

Good luck to you and everyone else down there in the coming days; hopefully Isaac's impact is minimum.

Mike -Unless you can give more examples of non-cash deductions (deductions that don't impact free cash flow), I still don't understand why you think your tax returns are not indicative of the amount of income you're pulling in.

Being brand new or newly rehabbed has little impact on on-going maintenance, much of which is caused by the tenants.

BK could have more negative impact that losing the house though.

We just replaced a 1250 SqFt roof with class 4 impact resistant shingles and a 50 year warranty for around $11k here in Denver.

While I'll argue that the system always did what it was designed to do -- measure those people who at any point in time were making the most impact on the site -- I'm also willing to accept that the system was never perfect by any means.With that in mind, as we continue our push to improve the site and execute 'Project Simplify' we've decided that it is time for influence to become a relic of the past.As you can see, there is no longer an influence score reflected on the forum sidebar or on your profiles.

I certainly feel that license fees and restrictions amount to a "tax" as well.Not sure how "healthcare taxes" are impacted by assets or earnings, but yes, in a way, but if we are going to count all taxes, fees, charges, compliance expenses required by government.....how about, Occupany certificates, sales taxes on materials for improvements which fall again under any gains, sewer assessments, utility deposits and inspection fees, engineering approval fees to building regs for improvements, all hidden taxes and fees hitting a property owner.

If it's a great deal and if your strategy is a long-term strategy, then a couple months of (potential) vacancy shouldn't impact your decision to buy.
