I imagine this will generate a lot of discussion.

Hey Everyone, It's nice to be among so much knowledge and great energy.

Long showers with a tankless costs more than keeping the tank heater warm overnight.Very high use on demand heaters will not have energy savings.

Or you can just contact the listing agent directly explain that you are a disciplined investor make your best offer and see how they respond.This will save a lot of time and energy.

Concrete is a very poor insulator.Try doing an energy audit.

In new construction you can generate great returns but it will be in the same general range.

Sounds odd, on a loan mod the amount typically "set aside for now" stays as a balloon on that mtg, and doesn't generate a second lien.

In fact, the asset manager who reviews some of the properties that have been on the market a long time, will not even know whether your offer in conventional or cash.No reason not to submit your offer if you can get your agent to do it, you will likely receive the computer generated counter offer from HUD

I don't know how you could have that much energy between full time job and all these deals going on.

One could argue that minimal property management roles such as placing advertising, screening tenants and things of that nature fall into this category, and there is a lot of support for that within the tax community  You clearly cannot compensate yourself for such activities, and you would not want to end up in a situation where a significant amount of time and energy goes into these activities or you could be viewed as providing services to the plan.
