Hey, if you get married you'll be able to shield an extra $250k in capital gains!!

A follow up question I now have would be do you think its smarter to completely pay off the first property before buying a new property or to keep going out and buying new properties once i have enough saved up for the down payment along with extra fees?

I am making completely passive cash, while also seeing the value of my portfolio increase with no headaches or management responsibilities that usually come from SFR ownership.

When we were first selling homes in 2021, Buyers were upgrading to larger homes since interest rates were 3ish% and they could afford the extra 300+ sqft.Today, we see smaller homes selling significantly faster than larger homes.

Else, move to a smaller unit or take in an extra roommate.

Everyone wants to provide for their family, not just you.One day if you earn more money, you will have extra to help others in need.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Birmingham has affordable properties but if you have to evict, the delay for sheriff's deputies to execute the turnout order is usually 6-12 months.

It could’ve just be my personality, but I always felt a little reluctant to be extra friendly if the other side did not reciprocate.

I usually hold 15% total for these.
