In my opinion, the Founder’s Letter written by Jonathan expressed values of: (1) Open Communication, (2) Actively Engaged Management, (3) Care for Each ClientAlthough RDU was stellar in getting me off the ground in my first real estate venture, about halfway into our relationship, I noticed that action on core values expressed in the Founder’s Letter began to wane.Most recent, after Hurricane Florence, I received a text message from Jonathan saying, “Your properties faired well during the storm”.

Single Family Home (East End Louisville)- Originally my primary residence ($209k)- Property is in our personal names (not in LLC)- Comps in the neighborhood are $285k- Built in 2002- In well established  neighborhood w/ middle income families- On 15 year 2.99% mortgage w/ 8 years remaining and $115k principal balance- Currently rents for $2,185 month/$26,200 annually- NOI $16,320- Cashflow $4,500/annually - $12k principal pay-down annual (current year)- Currently getting less than 3% return on our equityOriginal goal was to not cash flow but pay off property, allow appreciation, sell property at end of loan and use capital for additional projects. 

Single family homes, duplexes, and 3-4 family, and apartment buildings.

You will see a big majority of your deals coming from 4th and 5th communication with the seller.Best wishes,Sharad

A turnkey provider and I were having a conversation about this last night but for a remodeled single family 2 bedroom home even in an area like hilltop in columbus they are getting $695 a month in rent. 

In other words, can I treat all my rental properties as part of a single trade or business for purposes of the 179 taxable net income limitation?

I have singles and duplexes in the greater Hartford area.

Single story. ($159/sf).Comp 3 = 310 S.

Do I need to communicate anything to the county about this?

I can't think of a single major, successful business that doesn't offer discounts to customers and clients.
