I have some exposure to real estate investing as I work as a commercial lender.

It’s more about:Have you invested in real estate for your own account and have you been successful at it?

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.

I currently have a portfolio of SFH in Indiana and will always jump on a good deal for a SFH but I have been considering scaling up into multifamily commercial real estate (apartments, etc.)

I am still rather new in the investing world, but I know with enough base knowledge and liquid capital of course, I'd be willing to pursue it for sure. 

I am an seasoned real estate agent and affordable housing compliance manager in NYC with some experience in the Hudson Valley Area.

.: Hi Everyone,I am looking to develop passive real estate investment opportunities, but I am not sure if I completely understand what investors look for when investing in certain passive real estate investments, or real estate in general. 

I’ve been working with real estate financials for a while, and I keep seeing one mistake that costs investors thousands: poor bookkeeping leading to missed tax deductions.🚨 Common issues I see:❌ Not properly tracking repairs vs. capital improvements❌ Missing out on cost segregation & depreciation write-offs❌ Scrambling at tax time instead of planning proactivelyI’d love to hear from the group—what’s been your biggest tax headache as an investor?

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes.
