You can save money by buying smart, but don't buy cheap/lower quality because you get what you pay for and it may cost you down the road.

We have 37 units (25 properties), and have over $1 million in up front cash invested in those - and that was with rentals purchased between 2018-2021 - when both real estate and mortgage rates were cheap relative to today's prices.  

. $209k is very cheap for 40 acres, so that offer could be a person interested for hunting land and nothing I'd get excited over, and I wouldn't assume it means anything other than you could sell it for $209k. 

You can deduct the hotel, airfare, Uber or vehicle mileage as travel expenses. 

I believe I can invest and then take out whatever I have to pay the IRS next year so at least it makes me some money before I part ways with it.My long term goals are just to wealth build with my cash.I dont plan on needing anything for another house, college, etc any time soon.I may buy a car and travel but again I can take that out of the brokage account when I needed so at least it makes some money till then. 

It's fairly cheap and tastes like it's been aged in wooden barrels.

BiggerPockets has an amazing tax pro finder https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/tax-and-financ...Don't go cheap on a CPA either.

Currently, we have a traveling nurse staying at our property until the end of November.

I can that STR'S are definitely riskier than a LTR.Everyone needs a place to live, everyone doesn't need to go on vacation or travel.

Happy to connect on this as I'm still actively brokering deals (commercial) in Washington all the time and I'm frequently traveling up there to view properties and meet with other brokers.
