I’m excited to hear any advice or recommendations the community has to offer and looking forward to connecting with likeminded individuals.Thanks!

I have gotten a seller's credit for my 3 existing units but to be conservative, I will assume I am paying full closing costs here.At the moment, I have ~$25k in a HYSA and expect to save another $10k from my W-2 before I start putting offers in.

@Chris Mahoo Even without qualifying for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), long-term rentals offer key benefits like depreciation deductions over 27.5 years, deductible expenses (e.g., mortgage interest, repairs), and up to $25,000 in passive loss deductions if your MAGI is under $150K.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

But 2025 offers other opportunities that did not exist 10 or even 5 years ago - think AI and online businesses.

Recommend you don't make an offer. 

I am expecting a day of reckoning for this model in the coming years when an LP decides to file a lawsuit based on misrepresentation which traces back to the teaching techniques of the coach/mentors who are essentially offering pay for Co-GP title courses where the students are taught they can use their GP title to raise money.

One realtor in particular made me an offer to come work for her if I got my real estate license.

He offered us his property before putting it on the market.

They would offer a more hands free approach, but eat up the profit in return.
