I've seen a lot of people mentioning reading books and soaking up knowledge to start.

.: Midsouth Home Buyers BBB - https://www.bbb.org/us/tn/memphis/profile/real-estate-servic...MidSouth Home Buyers is NOT the same as Mid South Turnkey Homes which is run by Kenny Shaw The difference is ABUNDANTLY clear through the thread.You mentioned MidSouth Home Buyers in your original post ....

Thank you,Phil Don’t have any experience with the mentioned mentors, but I do have 45 years experience in commercial real estate investing.Flipping (wholesaling) commercial properties require the same base of knowledge (real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance) that is a foundational requirement for flipping residential properties; PLUS, extensive knowledge of the commercial property TYPE one is trying to engage with, and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market for the subject property type. 

that is actually the duplex I mentioned.

I purchased my first single-family rental last year on LLC and I did the cost segregation study on that property now I talk with my CPA and mention about the cost aggregation study for filing the last year tax return (2024)he said that I don't need to use it because anyway my tax return is going negative because of all the expenses of closing cost insurance HOA and everything so what would you suggest me that use my Cross aggregation study for my tax return or not. thank you in advance for your response .Have you spoken with your cost segregation partner?  

But you mentioned not needing cash right now. 

Like mentioned at the beginning, with out knowing your specific market, I'm leaning towards saying leave the occupancy at 7 and keep the neighborhood happy.

Just make sure you mention it in your listing description so expectations are met if they do need to access it!

I didnt mention I already have a trust and yes the plan was either to put those in the trust.

Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.
