Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The first was after our introductory phone conversation when she was aggressive in asking me to fill out all the financial documents and forms in order to complete the purchase of the DST.

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

Heck, I was nervous on one of my most recent purchases because it was my biggest ever - and I've done over 100 transactions.Your current house is probable a Class A property - which is the easiest to manage. 

Hi all,I am a young newbie investor looking to make my first real estate purchase in 2025.

I have 2 properties i'm planning to purchase and wonder how is the crime and rental market in there. your response is much appreciated

Bonus depreciation recapture is based on the year that is placed into services.As of right now, the bonus depreciation for 2024 is 60%.It is not likely that they will change the bonus depreciation retroactively to 2024.If they change the bonus depreciation for properties purchased in 2025, it will have no impact on a property you placed into service in 2024.

Quote from @Paul Whitehurst: Many will tell you to borrow money from Property A to purchase Property B, but that's known as over-leveraging and not recommended for a newer investor.
