I have an appointment with a commercial real estate agent early next week to talk about selling, but I am wondering what I should be doing to try and understand the building's value so I know that I am being treated fairly?

@Fady RiadIf you haven a LLC where you are the only member, the LLC is treated as a "disregarded entity" and all the activity gets reported on your individual return.You are also incorrect in not being able to take expenses if they are not in your LLC.

It's amazing how quickly they find the money to not lose their lease since our properties are typically a little less than market priced and we treat our tenants right. 

We treat them with respect, care for the property, and we respond quickly to a maintenance request.

Let's share some brag stories about how you've treated your tenants like gold.

I'm currently employed as a project manager with one of the nations largest general contractors, have been for 5 years, and it's treated me well both educationally and financially.

@Vilena G.Don’t forget for tax purposes, the profits ona flip is active income, so it’s treated as ordinary wages.

Well, the contractor was simply doing what was required for you.....even though he should have made it clear the tree roots might be damaged or at least he/you have the roots trimmed/treated professionally 

If you're talking about people living in the same home as you (not a duplex), then you have to treat it like having roommates.

I'd treat it similarly to if the house backed a really busy street or large overhead powerlines.
