For those managing active income streams—like wholesaling, flipping, or even running a real estate business—filing as an S-Corp can significantly reduce self-employment taxes.

It seems often that people will dwell on books, articles, podcasts and other sources and really just need a bit of personal motivation by peers to get out there and take that risk to start gaining those Street Smarts. 

It drives me nuts seeing the lions share of blame being placed on weather in main stream media (talking as an aggregate whole not going to cherry pick individual ones of differing messaging) when I see a laundry list of obvious human caused contributing factors. 

Kudos you've saved and put yourself in a good position to start out on the right foot by house-hacking.  5 years ago my wife and I bought our first and now we have 9 units and have really scaled our passive income stream through those rentals. 

Whether you are getting a continuous stream of income depends on the deal.

They have monthly meetings in Tyler as wells as meetings in Lindale and live streams.

Your insurance is going to be highly variable and I wouldn't use what an agent or the seller tells you as the cost of dwelling policies have increased substantially over the past few years due to rising new construction costs. 

Utilities will need to be in your name, and you will want to provide strong wireless internet, as well as some sort of basic streaming service like Netflix at a bare minimum for entertainment purposes. 

VC Firms and buyers would be looking for a portfolio that doesn't just have 1 or 2 streams of income, but rather also having the direct bookings and social media presence.There may not be many buyers who would purchase a 10-15 property portfolio, but if you scale to 30-50 or even 75-100+ Owned Units, I would think that VC / Private Equity firms may be interested.

I have about a $5k stream of passive cashflow, and a large sum of money.
