@Tim RogersI believe there are income limits that if you exceed specific income (cannot remember the number) it greatly reduces or zeroes out any deductions from a REPPeople a lot smarter than me can confirm

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."  

I would encourage you to pick a country and then do the research on the way to buy real estate in that specific country. 

Or is that something that depends on a persons specific situation?

Location is crucial for short term rentals and it is better to fit the majority needs than to be a specific kind of rental.

I am looking to buy my first investment property and have heard a lot about  Fort WayneAs an out of state investor, I am looking to connect with investors/agents in the area to build further knowledge on specifics with the markets and hopefully bring business to in the future!

Specifically, what stood out about their approach, the impact they had on you, and advice you’d give someone considering working with them.Thank you all for any insight you can provide. 

The surprises are often avoidable if not for bad underwriting......specifically underestimate renovation costs or operational costs.....overstate rents or "as complete" valuation.

As always, facts are case specific.    

A Solo 401(k) is generally subject to UDFI but is specifically exempted when the debt-financing is used for the acquisition of real property.When a tax exempt has generated either UBTI or UDFI, the tax paid is referred to as UBIT - Unrelated Business Income Tax.
