Don't own real estate then.

I’m a high income W2 earner getting hosed on taxes (currently own 5 properties).

We own 3 other rental properties that have a 6.5%-7.5% APR, and no credit card debt or any other high interest debt to pay off.

I own a 4plex where I live in one and rent the other 3. 

I have owned it for a very long time and had depreciated most of the original purchase price. 

Will rent for 1750/month.Capex items needed soon: roof, water heater, furnaceArea: A area, appreciation is at about 5% a year but average home price is ~$500K so this home will appreciate faster, this will have multiple offers on itDeal #2 - mixed use, small office with a 3 bedroom and a 1 bedroom over it.Ask: 325KCurrently fully rented on one year leases, bringing in 4775/month but only one tenant pays their own utilities plus owner is responsible for snow removal and landscaping. 

I own several investment properties in Dallas, and have tons of great connections that will help you get started.

With 34 years of real estate investing experience, I’ve been involved in everything from owning rental properties to flipping.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).
