In 2020 and 2021 I was getting outbid by millions of dollars on nearly every property by syndicators using bridge debt.

I have $10,500 to my name and want to invest it and put my money to work; however, I don't mind spending a few dollars on a reliable course or towards my financial education.

I wish I could live rich off the marginal dollars left over after all bills are paid.

I would say will cost you around 50 dollars per file.

I have the option to invest $40K of my savings into the project and potentially see a modest return (few hundred dollars a month), but I’m unsure if it’s the best use of my funds.

I have heard mention of some investors contacting local title companies and having them generate these lists for only a couple of dollars.

The current tax code provides special benefits in this situation.When the original owner passes away, the "basis" of the assets resets to the market value at the date of death.In the US, there is currently an estate tax exemption of approximately $13 million per person, which allows the basis to reset, and depreciation can start anew.This “step-up in basis” is particularly useful if the next generation wants to sell the asset.Since their basis is set at market value, if the property is sold at that value either at the date of death or within six months, there is no capital gain and no taxable event.There have been many examples where portfolios of fully depreciated real estate worth tens of millions of dollars have been passed down from one generation to the next, resulting in little to no tax liabilities for their heirs.Pretty cool, right?

Consumer spending is 2/3 of the economy and it’s hard to ignore the sheer volume of free dollars the federal government pumped, and is continuing to pump, into the economy. $10 Trillion dollars worth.

@Mike FarrIf you are going to spend 100's of thousands of dollars on an investment property it's definitely worth spending a few hundred dollars to make sure the title isn't clouded and you get clear and marketable title at closing.

If you find yourself too bogged down from too many rentals, you can hire a bookkeeper for a couple hundred dollars per month to manage all of this for you.
