I just got done with my required annual commission update for 2024 (I know I’m a slacker, I waited until the very end of the year lol) and the teacher of the class said that a high percentage of the number of agents who had their licenses revoked in 2024 were the result of being involved in subject to transactions that went sideways.

We don't have the Midwest weather, high property tax, old homes, high insurance, high maintenance, or state income tax.

I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?

Any person who can achieve property ownership, and then help others have a roof over their heads is a person worth high praise. 

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate wouldn't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.

The redevelopment also includes 250,000 square feet of retail, park areas, and a transit hub, which will make homes near the redevelopment highly desirable for future buyers.

I set up a meeting with high hopes that this would be a good way to purchase my first few properties of section 8.

I've been at 100% occupancy for my small spaces for the past 5 years.My only feedback is that $2 per month per sq ft NNN seems really high to me, but each market is different. 

Many are looking to retire or shift out of active management, especially as interest rates rise.From what I’ve read in Bloomberg, Austin's market in 2025 remains highly competitive but still has opportunities in older neighborhoods and suburban areas.

There are a high number of CPA firms that do not want to get involved outside of the FYI to their clients, and some state boards are saying that a CPA advising related to this registration is an "unlicensed practice of law" given it is not under Title 26 - income taxes - the only place where CPAs and EAs are specifically authorized to interpret law.
