One of my favorite states for OSS investments is Florida.

Connecting with investors is a great move too; it’s one of the best ways to gain real-world knowledge and build a strong foundation for your journey.What kind of investing are you most interested in? 

Are you investing in your local market?

Best of luck in your real estate investing!

I have a property in Memphis...and frankly no matter how much I've spent on property management (have had three, all promise the sky and deliver next to nothing), I have gotten the run around by the property management team in all three cases, which has deterred me from investing further in Memphis real estate.

The IRS may challenge such transactions if they appear to be step transactions or lack a legitimate business purpose.Here are some things you might be interested in / want to consider:As @Andrew Kubik mentioned, since the property is now an investment property, you could consider a 1031 exchange to defer taxes.

For a true investment property, you'll be lucky to make a 10% IRR...so it would probably be better to invest that money in a 401k or 403b instead.

A strong deal presentation will help attract serious partners for this and future investments!

You already understand investing, and clearly, you have been pretty successful in life. 

I am new to real estate investing and purchased my first LTR November of 2024.
