Most people think real estate investing requires huge capital, perfect credit, or bank loans—but that’s not always true.

Quote from @David Treat: What comes next in real estate now that Trump is in?

I was advised today by a retired real estate professional, who is licensed, that if you offer an application to someone for a loan, you must be licenesed by the DRE.

Would it be a good idea to get a real estate license and work in real estate or are there other options to get in Missouri to get real estate experience without a license? 

It’s awesome to see you taking action and diving into real estate education.

Hey bigger pockets, my name is Jonathan and I am looking to connect with real estate investors not just in California but all across the U.S.

It sounds like you have a great background for investing as well as assisting other real estate investors in buying suitable real estate. 

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?

@Chris ShonYes, a real estate accountant is worth what you pay them.

Any recommendations on the most efficient way to track your time when classified as a real estate professional?
