I have around $165k in savings, with an option to withdraw $16k from my 401k after taxes and fees.

Don't let your momentum slow down....

If I tried to start today with the same funds I had back in 2018 I would probably own about 10 doors.In my opinion, it is really not a great time to be getting real estate (broadly speaking) - which when you think about it is the whole reason why the Fed cranked up rates - to slow down the economy, inflation, housing sales & price increases, etc.   

And also if i leave profits in the broker account are they taxable or only if i withdraw funds?

However they are slow and they will do their research to determine valuesWhoever the taxing authority is, they will look at the value of the property in its current condition, then subtract foreclosure costs, marketing and closing costs to arrive at a net value to them.

Every time we do something new, we start small and slow. 

I admit it's not sexy and it's slow, but it works.If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a personal home with 3-5% down then repeat every 12-18 months.

Share the folder with the accountant and that's how you make it easier for everyone to keep track.I will tell you that one of my clients that was using google drive, this took forever to look for anything because of the amount of receipts to review and it is just slow.

Hi Everyone,If you invest in a syndication using funds from your self directed traditional IRA can you take advantage of bonus depreciation to offset any taxable gains when you withdraw or convert to a Roth IRA? 

Over the years I'd continue to like to buy more house hacks, get my RE license and (depending on the market) acquire a few duplexes/multi-families all on a slow but consistent basis.
