Death or 1031That being said, the question wasn’t really whether it’s worth it or not, but if it is permissible in the eyes of the IRS to take the bonus depreciation in the same calendar year when you have used the property for personal use. 

Multifamily is definitely doable remotely as long as you have eyes on the ground.If you’re open to it, I’m happy to share a few investor friendly PMs I’ve worked with in the Midwest and what’s worked well for others starting out.

Dual agency is an abomination in the eyes of the law and only a fool would consent to it. 

You could stipulate a required cleaning every 2 or 3 weeks "to maintain the standards of the property".It would both serve to keep things up and to get eyes on the property.

I would say I am stuck in the busy work and over-analyzation trap with the bandwidth to only take on so much in   a given niche that I should restrict my eyes and focus on finding and executing on those rather than scanning the entire market.

If you look at the 10- and 5- year treasuries (that most lenders tie themselves to) it has just been a slow and steady decrease of the last year that I think we can continue to keep an eye on.However, there are so many factors that pay a role in that and a continual drop is not guaranteed.

I just recently heard of a police officer who lost an eye during an eviction, seems like not the landlords fault right?

No matter what, unless I had a credible and substantiated team already there on the ground, who I trusted with viable perspectives, I would have to lay eyes on the place. 

Their eyes glaze over when you just mention a Cap Rate. 

That’s okay; just go in eyes open.
