I was thinking about the foreclosure sale on the court steps.

So renting defers taxes and creates write-offs now, but it doesn’t erase tax forever.The key tradeoff is this: sell now and potentially walk away with tax-free gains, or convert to rental, build long-term equity and cash flow, but deal with depreciation recapture and more complex taxes later.So before deciding, I’d run three numbers: estimated net sale proceeds after using the primary residence exclusion, projected rental cash flow after expenses, and long-term appreciation potential.

Section 8 still gives vouchers to tenants with prior evictions, they usually deny them a voucher based upon certain criminal convictions (drug dealing, drug manufacturing, rape, child molestation, murder etc.)My screening process for Section 8 tenants is the same as for anyone else — credit check, background check, rental history, references, social media search and local court records checks.

Depends if the passive investment itself is internally leveraged,So, if an investor is investing in a syndication which owns say a 50 unit apartment complex free and clear of debt, and invests $100k, 50k of which is borrowed at say 5% on a home equity line of credit, this is probably ok.Not so much under the same scenario of personal borrowing where the syndication had a 50% LTV mortgage itself against the subject property.  

Scales well but costs more.Yardi – Very robust, but heavier and more complex.

Because the occupant is a former owner, North Carolina courts generally view this as a holdover situation.

My city  in recent times is famous for it and the courts recently passed judgement on something with a rationale that is shocking (basically because the council kept something secret that was not allowed long enough that reversing it is difficult the courts are allowing it to continue to paraphrase the verdict). 

Of course, I also do all the traditional stuff - conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, etc.Why I'm here:I love talking real estate strategy and problem-solving complex financing scenarios.

VA assumptions add an extra layer of complexity that can be challenging for unprepared buyers and sellers.

It’s not as easy as a lot of sites or marketers make it out to be, between aging housing stock, complex legislation, and neighborhoods that literally change block-by-block.
