So are you really saving anything?

I follow a program that teaches how to maximize points and buy discount travel.

There are exceptions - some properties are set up such that installing a few electric baseboard heaters might be possible to save on the gas bill - but i would still just shy away if not metered separately at the outset.  10) do shop for a lender and compare (usually pretty standard but there can be some fluctuation) - dont fall for the ones that sound too good to be true - there are gimmicks out there - big bank or reputable broker should do you fine.  

go to lots and lots of meetups.2. talk to those HMLs and find out what their terms are.3. save up enough so that you have a down payment, reserves, and also enough in cash for the hold period. 

I currently have one property that I have been house hacking for the last year and have saved up for a 2nd investment property.

To be honest starting out seems overwhelming and scary especially considering investing much of savings into a property that may or may not be successful.

I've been in the real estate industry since 2014, but I'm now diving deeper into the investment side of things, eager to expand my knowledge and grow in this dynamic field.I'm passionate about building meaningful relationships with like-minded individuals and helping clients maximize their investment potential.

The fact that they don't have critical thinking skills and limited income/saving, makes them desperate and easy target.

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: The tax benefits of bonus depreciation can lead to massive savings but losses won’t help one bit if you can’t use them.Before you buy a cost seg, you need to know the rules:Tax all starts with the types of income.1.

If you listen to David Greene, he's hearing more and more stories about syndications struggling to keep up with their promises and a lot of investors are losing money, or pouring more money into the syndication to try and save their original money.
