When you start the process of thinking about your next investment, it is important to consider many characteristics and attributes you would want out of your investment partners.

The potential upside on the property is between $800k and $1M if this attribute is leveraged.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have worked with the HOA’s contractor to identify the problems and attribute the problems to structural problems with the building.

Right now there does seem to be some "soft spots" in the market however, but it could be attributed to the holidays etc. 

What value they attribute to that work is up to them but I imagine it's like anything else.

Therefore I can take 100% of the suspended passive losses attributed to Property A in the year of sale. 

@Dean LetfusTo me you can attribute all of the OOS investing posts to 3 groups of people; the dreamers, the schemers, and the suckers!

If you must raise price,  communicate early and clearly so the surprise is minimized,  and consider offering refunds on any applications fees if those applicants decline to proceed.5)  make darn, darn sure you don't discriminate on all the usual attributes,  as well as source of income,  and criminal history.  

There were a few unexpected repairs during the first year, but I attribute them mainly to poor maintenance of the previous landlord and tenants.Lessons learned?

Before I get into the details I like to remind myself of attributes and/or work mantras that I can embrace and that have served me well.
