I'll just use the example of something I found in my area.

For example, do you have them start painting in the bathrooms and kitchen and then the contractors can start putting those areas back together while the painters paint the rest of the house?

A good example can be seen in my city where there are literally DOZENS of government owned houses that are boarded up.

(thanks tenants)You love the smell of fresh paint.Every time you buy a car it has to have 4 wheel drive to get to those hard to see properties.Every morning is spent writing down recording #'s of the forclosure notices by hand.You know all the extentions on the attorney lines to get the sale date an opening bid of your local attorneys.When ever you meet some one you ask them how much they paid for there house.Your an a**hole to newbies just because you know more than they do and then you feel bad because you were there once.

For example, the money paid for property must be paid in a very specific way and in a very specific place, or it's like you never paid.It is also next to impossible to take money back out of Brazil once it has been taken into Brazil.You need someone who knows the ins and outs of Brazilian law.You also really need to know about specific towns.

The real advantage of real estate is being able to leverage considerable amounts of unrealized equity, which creates and accelerates wealth.For example lets say you used that 45k to purchase 4 homes for 70k each but had market values of at least 100k each.

For example, we've been in a drought for many years, and most areas have tight restrictions on lawn watering.

So when you sell at 20 years you only make a total of $58,000 (in this example you do so with no money down, which means an infinite return on your investment).

For example if your adjusted gross income is $120,000 you will have to reduce the $25,000 exception by $10,000 and the most rental real estate losses you can deduct will be $15,000 for that tax year.Don't let your high income penalize you!
