I don't really notice too much change in the Winter months, maybe a bit of slowing in the number that move out, but parsing through many years of data, I don't see any identifiable patterns of slowing rentals when it gets cold and blustery. 0Having said that, I have been seeing extremely strong rent up in the past 3 months.

I will use the data you provide to me to run the pro forma noted above which will give you the information I believe you are looking for.

The previous landlord needed to transfer it to you as it is the tenant's money.  

Data is pointing to increasing inflation, and the stock market continues to be irrational & exuberant, making many investors fearful of a correction.

I'm willing to be the bad guy here, but I want to make sure I have this clearly organized before I execute the plan.I have thought of asking them to transfer title to me, but then would the tax implications negate the benefits?

Does this trigger having to pay transfer taxes or doc stamp taxes in Florida (which are $$$)?

You can look online for a low of growth/appreciation data with sites such as city-data.com, US Census, as well as Niche.com to figure out your best market and find out the total investment from there. 

Tax Attorney's normally deal with more complex tax related issues than a CPA.I would expect a Tax Attorney to be dealing with issues such as1) International Tax Law / Transfer Pricing2) Drafting a Private Letter Ruling(PLR) with the IRS confirming that a tax position they will tax is blessed.3) Confirming or understanding recent tax law changes / updates4) Taxation rules for companies who operate over multiple states.Best of luck

How could I transfer the boat key from one renter to the next?

@Rick Reeder and @Sam Raj    I have protested my property taxes in multiple jurisdictions and while Texas may be a non-disclosure state, they have all used MLS data and present that to you in the proceedings.
