Maybe you can help the investors you meet with all the miscellaneous tasks involved with investing like picking up rent checks, turning over properties for new tenants, or even just driving by occasionally to make sure their properties are in good condition.I'd also recommend spending a lot of time looking at all the homes you're targeting in your area, both online and in person.

I can see how there would be confusion on the Architect's part if their job was to draft plans for the city and then the city has approved the plans as is.

It's important to understand the difference, and I'd recommend sticking with the REIT with depreciation advantages.The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes a 199A deduction and applies to certain income from pass-through entities (including REIT dividends) and allows individuals to take the 20% deduction against REIT dividend distributions that yields an effective tax rate of 29.6% or 37% (80% for upper bracket filers).

My other thought was to find a flip job for faster cash.Is there other ventures or financing ideas I should be considering?

@Rud SevIt's really your CPA's job to walk you through your tax return.

Their job history tells me a lot.

With all this investment bringing in business, high-paying jobs, etc over the next few years it seems like it's a solid potential opportunity to get in.

Of course, the buyer could lose their job, but the spread between cash vs. mortgage has to be more than most people think.

We used to do all the qualifying as agents, push the loan officers who didn't want to work to get the job done, give comps to the appraisers etc. etc.
