To apply this in real life, last week we helped a client put a 1 bedroom cabin about 400 yards from the edge of the Smoky Mountain National Park under contract under $200k, the expected return from a cap rate, cash on cash, or IRR are all deep double digits.If long term appreciation is part of the goal, I'd want to understand long term migration patterns as well, and look at regional parks near places where there is a lot of people moving within 200 miles. 

•If they clean up and stop, you can’t evict over past incidents—but repeated violations mean new notices, and judges usually side with landlords if there’s a documented pattern.4.

@Jake Yuskaitis Can you articulate the circumstances or fact pattern where the charging order protections will become relevant?

Many local markets are showing a similar pattern, ultimately that buyers are more cautious and deliberate, yet homes under $500,000 that are move-in ready are still in high demand.

I have been hearing similar patterns from multiple sources lately and the data seems to be pointing in the same direction: Are we on the edge of great opportunity in real estate again? 

You need to report this type of behavior to establish a pattern (if there is one). 

I followed the same pattern exiting 40 C-grade properties for half as many B-grade plus cash left over to buy and renovate our real estate office and build a dream home on the footprint of our 100+ yr old farmhouse (on LaPlante Rd of course).So yeah, where I live full time...tear down and build something amazing.

A good PM should track these tenants closely, communicate patterns to you, and advise if/when it’s time to escalate toward stronger action.

In your fact pattern ($300 Box 1 income, -$2,000 rental loss), the proper MA treatment would normally be:- Net zero current year taxable income in MA- ~$1,700 suspended passive loss carryforward to MASo if TurboTax is limiting your MA allowable loss to $15 because it’s blending in other states’ K-1s, that’s not consistent with how MA expects the form to be prepared.

I see the same pattern with my own finances as an investor.I just asked ChatGPT to run an economic simulation based on ourcurrent economic model and went down a rabbit hole: a capitalist system becomes unstable when the Gini coefficient reaches 0.6 (a measure for wealth inequality) - that's when you see social unrest, because most of the capital has been so concentrated with a few, that there is simply nothing left for the population to own.
