House hacking is an awesome choice for starting out—it’s a great way to cover your mortgage while gaining landlord experience.

Quote from @Stephanie Lopez: Hola Everyone 👋 I just joined this forum in hopes to gain more insight in real estate investing.

If a limited partner is in a tax bracket (earning less than 50k per year) approximately how much would they owe in capital gains after the asset is sold? 

The increase in property taxes, insurance, and maintenance/wear and tear may erase all of your gains and more. 

This turned out to be a great decision for us and our investors, because a few months after the buyout was complete we sold the property for a massive gain, and our investors received profits that would otherwise have been allocated to the institutional LP had they still been in the deal.For these reasons but not only these reasons we choose to raise capital from our base of HNW investors. 

This also allows you to be involved and gain experience for the future. 

@Peter Trifan what are you hoping to gain from a course - actual builder knowledge or just a license?

This would also make a big difference when calculating your net gain. 

The $10,000 course helped 90% of the students feel more confident and they gained $80,000 in equity by the time the year was over while the $2000 course only helped 50% gain $40,000 in equity but limited the loss to only $2000 if they didn't do anything with it.  

@Joel Siguaw, people who do well with anything are those who gain a passion for it.
