They remit the taxes.

This appears to be a 'transfer tax' instead of an income tax. 

I want to create a strong marketing plan before taking that step to help me achieve my goal of earning $50k in commissions.I’m hoping this group can help me with a few questions:1.

The sentiment feels a lot like 2008, home prices are unaffordable, Price to earning ratio don't make sense, rents are high (which is a goo thing only of the homes weren't so expensive), I feel like it's a ticking time bomb with the debt crisis.

Mgt, Landscape/Snow, tax, insurance, utility then debt service. 

Another wildcard is that the tax office opened in The UAE a year ago.

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate won't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.It's an incredibly powerful benefit if you do meet the criteria.

During escrow converted it to a Roth and paid the taxes.

Do the math and you'll see it doesn't make sense.The best way to invest: increase earnings, reduce expenses, and save.

You know this and the reason I am saying that I am considering in getting a real state license is the connections, the access to listing off market and possibility of earning commission that I can use to increase my portfolio.I think that being an investor agent will help me build a reputation and that can be good or bad.
