There are conventional strategies and unconventional strategies to get started in real estate.

Just keep in mind that entertainment expenses—like taking clients out for a show or a game—aren’t deductible anymore.And, yes, you can deduct 100% of your education expenses if you’re already a real estate investor.

Hi Jonathan, what is your buying criteria in GA and what counties are you looking to purchase in?

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

But it’s something I tailor the business plan to just in case.So your investor could get caught in having their loan called with not a lot of notice if things change.
