You say that you could get $950 for this place, but in my experience you won't be able to raise your current tenant to that, not in fewer than two renewals, so assume you're 3 years away from that number.In both cases you will have extraordinary expenses (carpet, a heater or A/C bill or two) on these units before you break even on your initial investment.

Maybe a basement that had 750-1000 ball mason jars from three generations, the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Before this job I was a processor for a broker that dealt with subprime and my initial thinking was to do an 80/20 on a 2-4 family residence and have the tenants pay the mortgage and found some areas that it seems do-able.

He has 225 properties across the country and he wants to sell them to me. they all have good rental history, and are mostly single family, duplexes, and triplexes.How can I find people interested in investing in these properties by offering a 1%- 1.5% initial cash, and a monthly income.

The home generates a $5,000 loss with the depreciation and vacancy in 2005.- My modified AGI is over $150,000 - so it appears that I can not take this loss whatsoever.- I acknowledge that I can carry this loss forward as an offset to any gain I have in my sale, but I believe my gain isn't subject to tax anyway if I sell it by August 2006 - because my wife and I will have lived in the home for 2 out of the last 5 years at that point.- This situations get exacerbated in my 2006 situation because I am paying the mortgage and taxes without any occupancy and apparently without any tax benefit!

Also put your foot down at the door of the initial meeting, and letting him know, there is time requirments for the project, and you want them done..

Looked to me like a repeating Power Point presentation sort of thing designed strictly as a lead generator for Realtors.
