Friends, I came to the realization that i'll have to pay money, one way or another.

Lenders will typically only give credit per the terms of the agreement and any realized appreciation while renting will not be considered down payment (although will still benefit the renter/buyer greatly) 

@Andreas Mirza @Bobby Sharma All kidding aside, investors don't realize that some of the small suburbs surrounding Chicago have building and transfer restrictions that would make Chicago blush.

However I am concerned about getting too burned...I have now had numerous dealing with the sis and I realize she is consumate liar and can't be trusted.thanks all for your quick feedback.would you sell to her and be rid of it - or try to fight those leases and win a sweet 3 family?

I am currently building a property and realized that that taxes from the sale are going to be substantial so I considered doing a 1031 then getting into multiple smaller properties then rent them out. 

People need to realize to get class action status is near impossible in many instances and the attorneys make all the money.

In my case, I was actively looking for a Equity Partner (until recently) to buy multifamilies in my city but I realized that a debt partner is way more convenience FOR ME so I do not have to split my return.

It’s still a journey for me, and I’ve realized how essential surrounding yourself with a strong community can be in overcoming these obstacles.Question for everyone: I’m curious, what’s been your biggest challenge in building a strong real estate network?

I first had a chuckle, and then I realized it's actually sad.

Under IRC Sec 61, Congress intends to tax all gains or undeniable accessions to wealth, clearly realized, over which taxpayers have complete dominion.Treas Reg Sec 1.61-1(a) provides that gross income includes income realized in any form, whether in money, property, or services.
