My name is Jonathan and I'm an aspiring real estate investor in good ole Memphis, Tennessee.

There are many more, but the big take home is to calculate your own pro-forma income and expenses based on good ole fashioned due diligence.Here's a deal calculator I created/use, for your reference.

I'm just a dumb ole retired guy that loves to surf, globe trot, walk the city streets and sandy beaches with my lovely bride of 41 years and hang with my 5 kids and 14 grandkiddies at Disneyland every chance we have.

That way, you don't mind dragging their sorry butt to court instead of sweet ole grandma.

I have capital, expertise in remodeling and good ole sweat equity to offer! 

Hi @Johan Yang,Your broker should be able to send a junior agent to an inspection on their behalf.

Kinda reminds me of the ole Mike Ferry Days whence when someone asked a RE Pro how biz was they would always reply F A N T A S T I C!!!

Very relevant as we all do our yearly tax rituals (whatever yours may be)...The Schedule E is not ideal, but for round peg expenses (that are legit "ordinary and necessary" expenses, and the IRS and tax courts have lots of info, be it regs, opinions, and decisions on that) that do not fit in their Schedule E round hole categories, I try good ole' Line 19 and I even write in a couple (be it condo dues or cell phone) that are major contributors to the category in the small space provided.

I am just a good ole boy.

Good ole boy from Mississippi, has forgotten more than I will ever know about real estate investing.
