Study the markets you are targeting and find investors/agents/property managers in those areas to network with.

Last year my largest holding FDUS, paid 13.6% dividend and stock also went up 8-9 %, as long as 10 yr flat to rising they make money on their large net interest margin spreads.if you ok with moderate risk, pick good REITS, as a group VNQ they beat sp500 last 20 and 50 yrs by about 1.5-2.0%, and they beat private real estate investors by 2-4% in academic studies as well, that's an average, that doesn't mean REITS outperform the excellent investors here at BP :)Or take out a margin loan and YOLO Bitcoin, no don't do that!

I plan to do cost seg study and get bonus depreciation (and will actively participate as per IRS rules) but need to confirm if this would still work if buy STR under LLC and I can still be eligible for that STR loophole?

They will leave that part out, they speak in total generalities.... or they show their case studies of unicorns. 

Study the market.

@Habib Sarr have you studied the Soo market more, please share your experience

It's super trendy, and super boring.

Study the market.

WFH is more productive, plenty of studies done by WFH academics confirm this.

I have been studying Brandon Turner and David Greene's books and am very excited about getting started investing in real-estate!
