In North Jersey, buying is difficult from my beginner perspective with high prices, property tax, etc.Barrier to entry feels high in my area.

@Jeanette LandI always recommend using a tax professional.

Over the years, with personal investment alongside investments from family and friends, I’ve been able to build a small portfolio of apartment buildings with a focus on cash flow through strong operations.

The more deals you’re part of, the more you learn about:✅ Structuring deals✅ Managing risk✅ Negotiating with partners✅ Handling financingTaking part of a good deal helps you build real-world experience that will pay off big in the future when you do bigger and better deals.3.

I can’t imagine the returns you would have to generate. 22% federal tax, plus 8% state tax, plus 10% penalty.

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

I set up tax lien as a keyword alert so I get alerted when someone mentions them.

I think working with an architect to build something really unique and custom is always the best move if you have the budget for it.

The absolute best way to avoid taxes is not earn income.  

In doing so, bear in mind that the cost and admin of a corporation is higher and that the tax treatment is different:1.
