Zeona is a prolific real estate agent with a ton of knowledge, she has been an Airbnb host since 2012 she has over ten years of being a short-term rental property manager and consultant.

I am newbie in real estate and I don't have much experience in real estate. 

We worked our W-2 and did real estate for 10 years.

I am a new real-estate investor looking at flipping properties in a higher end neighborhood.

The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

Cash flow is important, but appreciation, principal paydown, and tax advantages are also key factors in long-term real estate success.Your logic makes sense—if your investment property’s rent offsets your primary mortgage and you’re in a strong appreciation market, it could still be a great long-term play.

@James TobinJames, congratulations on deciding to take the first step into real estate investing!

Is that because you don't know what your Real Estate goal is?

Even better if you can work for a property manager or real estate compnay. 

Beyond residential lending, I have a strong interest in commercial lending and real estate investment.
