It's a single mom with one cute toddler that works her butt off to raise her kid, hold a full-time job, and go to school at night.

Right now, I'm working with a team that helps find off market properties for investors which has been a great way to dive in and connect with experience professionals in the industry.

Quote from @Victor Yang: If I gift a house, what amount will go towards the lifetime gift limit, the amount i purchased the house for, or the current FMV?

I'd sell because you are reaching the time when you lose the cap gains exemption and that $24K would take over 2 years of renting to get back.I had a condo that I owned for a long time and I sold it despite it being paid off and having long term tenants. 

Property values continue to grow in value, and you can actually live off the rental income.I think it's best to hav all properties paid off by retirement age, since that's when you are going to rely on cash flow for your living expenses.

I have been in the STR market for the last 13 years.

January’s inflation report showed higher-than-expected price increases, raising questions about the Federal Reserve’s next moves and the overall direction of the economy.

If the answer is that I need to become a licensed broker before I can start the company, does anyone know about the broker points scoring system?

Which made my tracking for taxes and such all look super dumb because everything is off by a dollar.
