Under their Class A it's my understanding that if everything goes exactly right when they dispose of the asset you get your principal back and a tax bill.

This deduction is related to the loss on disposal of certain assets in your building such as replacing or removing existing components of the building.Cost segregation studies can be a very beneficial tool for real estate investors.

When things outside of our control as investors change, (macro-economic factors, saturation, disposable income etc.) and there is no safety net, that's when investors can get really hurt.

Use whatever resources you have at your disposal to help make the deal happen.

(I have children that could no longer play in the backyard unless someone sat and watched them) i replaced the 15yr old garbage disposal out of my pocket so I wouldn't have to deal with the incompetent plummer again.

The audience is pre-disposed to believe. 

You’ll expedite your learning curve with more units and it’s still fairly easy to dispose of <4 unit if you want to exit.

Quote from @Marc Shin: Should i be providing disposable toothbrushes and extra toothpaste to guests? 

I've always supplied garbage disposals (though may only supply those in high end homes from here on out) fridge, dishwasher and range/oven.  

The gist of it is that when you dispose of your entire interest in a passive activity in a fully taxable (as opposed to a tax-deferred) transaction to a non-related party, i.e., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted.
