Now we're seeing incredible population and job growth and major companies moving and developing here like Intel and Amazon - great macroeconomics and strong rental demand.

When choosing a location, focus on markets with job growth, population increases, and a diverse economy.

., @Jay Hinrichs and @V.G Jason have done an excellent job of laying out a flaw in your thinking, and I will take it a couple of points further.1.

I was interested in both classes but as i have a full time job and young kids i wanted to see if there was any flexibility in when i could take the 2nd class, which was NOT offered in the Atlanta area.

Once again: Great job Mike!

I will treat a witness as a trespasser.I want to really emphasize that this lady is a major headache and may have mental issues.It is possible she has been fired from her job as well. 

Note: This all pertains to the 2022 tax year and I still have a W-2 job which is the main source of my income.Given I've only owned a rental for one year (also my first home ever) and I'm very new to rental-related taxes, I of course hired a "good" tax advisor/CPA to help ensure I stay out of trouble with the IRS.

@Nathan Gesner My justification for taking the risk is that I have a solid W2 job so I can afford to take a hit for a couple of months for vacancies and maintenance.

If this admiration doesn't pull back the reigns, the mortgage rates and inflation will remain high IMO.

I am new to real estate investing and want to break free from my 3pm-11pm job.
