In the end, I have come to the realization that I probably should've been 1031ing them all along though. 

I was most excited about real estate when we first hit that spot where we had several rental rehabs going on at the same time and I started to realize: this is actually going to work..!

It wasn't until I started renting out my first condo in NJ that I realized I could build a lot of weath going this avenue.

I see people with the prize in front of them not realizing there is sacrifice, hard work, some luck and a knack for it all.

There are plenty of unscrupulous people that do this.But they fail to realize that if they offered a satisfaction guarantee, they'd make a lot more sales than they get scammed for.Now with Sean, his offer to refund the purchase if one makes a deal is widely used because it gets people to take imperfect action.

It requires more effort/work to be successful than most non experienced investors realize.  

Income is $600,000 per year and husband and wife both work full-time non real estate jobs.Is it true that the tax benefits are greater, or realized more quickly, on purchases like furniture or televisions to itemize a rental property, when they are made AFTER the date the property is put in service?

People don't realize the mounting capex liability, it is almost invisible until it's too late.

I didn't realize my company has two accounts.

I didn't realize there was a challenge period that could last up to two years.
