So mid June, mid September, mid December.I will quit the instant I am able to replace my day job income with stable rental income...this is everything including net profit, depreciation tax shield, appreciaton, and principal paydown....since I currently sock away about half of my salary in my 401k anyway, I don't need to get the $52k/year from net profit on rents only.

you buy a property for $50,000 keep it 20 years and sell for $200,000, but to replace it with an identical house you have to spend the entire $200,000, what have you gained.Capital gains taxes to some degree as now structured is a tax on inflation which the investor had no control over, and a devaluation of the dollar purchasing power due to inflation..

The thieves wait til they figure you've had time to replace your computer/TV/whatever and then hit you again.

However they are not exempt from paying special assessments which are added to tax bills for things like trash service or maybe sewer replacements ect.
