Grateful to be able to join this group to learn and gain knowledge from different people.

Stock gains are considered capital gains and can't be offset by passive losses from your real estate portfolio.

They can provide valuable guidance to ensure everything is set up correctly.If you prefer a DIY approach, services like Zenbusiness or Tailor Brands can help, but they won't offer the same personalized advice.Good luck, and feel free to ask more questions! 

Terry,Have you weighed out the pro's and con's doing a fix & flip and capital gains versus fix and hold long or short term rentals?

Eventually, I hope to use the knowledge I gain and the connections I make to take action and get started in the world of Real estate investing.

Another option, to echo what @Andrew Steffens said, would be if you're serious about this business it might be worth your time to work with a licensed property manager to learn the ropes, gain some credibility, and figure out if this is something that's a good fit for you long term. 

So in order to estimate annual return do you subtract note purchase price, say 75k.. and then divide by years remaining 9.3 then take average annual gain and divide by original price of 75k?

Use the information you gain to narrow your focus for what is working for your market.Most importantly, if something is working well for the folks you see here or on the podcast, but it doesn't work for you, don't despair.

It seems you selected your markets wisely and have actually been able to realize gains when you sold. 

They require less hands-on management making them a great way to gain experience and build trust with local professionals down the line.The BRRRR strategy can be profitable but it relies heavily on trustworthy partners.
