You should also take it upon yourself to make sure the property is fairly valued, in a good neighborhood for rentals and the tenants are paying a market rent, that the rehab was done property, the tenant was properly screened etc.With TK you are buying long term cash flow, not appreciation, appreciation is icing on the cake imo.

The appreciation or "value gained" over 8 years is only icing on the cake as apposed to the main course with your equities. 

I paid for dozens of tire repairs from roofing nails, bought thousands of dollars in gas, filed deeds, paid local land taxes, dump fees of a couple of thousand, and many hundreds to the local convenience stores for drinks and ice for my workers, doughnuts, gatoraid, sodas, etc. 

Should just be icing on the cake if it happens). 

It can/will be the ice breaker or deal ender for what you’re looking for.

We get some 3 day stays here and there, but it is not common.All we can offer in the winter is snow...and ice...you can watch the ice floe move back and forth in front of our house as it gets pushed around by the 2 incoming rivers that are fairly close to our house.

If ever they slipped on ice guess they'd probably try to max out your insurance coverage with a major law suit.  

This is what we do deliver:- tax return that is compliant with the IRS requirements- tax return that includes all your income and all your legitimate expenses- tax return that presents your business in the most beneficial way- tax return that minimizes your IRS audit exposure (FYI: nobody can make a tax return completely "audit-proof")And, if your taxes are lower as a result, it's the icing on the cake.

My mom about 2 to 3 years ago had a knee replacement by one of the best knee surgeons in the United States.She was one of the last Medicare patients they accepted.The surgeon was telling us that Medicare wanted to stipulate WHAT PARTS they wanted them using in surgery or they wouldn't pay.Medicare wanted to start using cheap crap from Chine where they get a discount and put inferior parts in with high failure rates.The surgeon dropped Medicare and said they didn't want to put in a bad part and get sued or blamed later for revisions.I agree completely and do not blame them.The best doctors being forced to use crap from Medicare or they won't pay is awful.It's about the money and not about the quality of care.I took my mother-in-law in for a hospital appointment the other day.All the doctors and receptionist I talked to did not want the Health Care bill passed.The Government oversight already is too much and the forms too cumbersome.Regardless of political party affiliation more government control and forms increases cost,time,and tax pay burden.If our Government believes so much in the health care provided under this bill they THEY should lose the health care packages they have and move to this.I pay cash when I go in and ask for a discount.I do not have health insurance by choice.I do not want to fill out ten thousand forms and be told my only plan provider is 1 hour away from me.I want to choose who I go to and what kind of quality care I receive.Paying cash I can do that.If anyone believes businesses will pick up the tab for extra health Insurance cost I have some Ice Igloos to sell you in Hawaii.If a business owner makes 100k profit a year they will not now make 80k a year and take from their family to prop up employees.They will trim the fat.I can see many more people using virtual assistants so that there is no paying of these costs.Just like Obama did this credit card bill that capped fees.All they did was raise rates for the good borrowers.The credit card companies sure didn't take the hit.I shouldn't have to pay for the governments short comings.It should come out of their pay for passing the laws and acts that led to these problems.All the government does is kick the can down the road and borrow from one place to prop up another.I don't believe this law will do anything except create more government bloat.

I'm also constantly dealing with either ice and snow in the winter, or landscaping during the rest of the year.
