I have been lending actively in the Indianapolis market since 2018, have done over 350+ deals, and used both my own, and other people's money in a Whole Note Investing scenario.

If everyone is truly active, it is now a joint venture and you can have a local real estate attorney form an LLC for you (which is much less expensive).

It suggests that the property is now a better deal for buyers, potentially sparking renewed interest and activity.

I'll say, it's a good sign that the founder/owner is willing to engage questions.

If you engage in a real estate investment program as a means to build wealth, you are going to incur a significant amount of debt early on and likely for the next 30 years, as your holding grow.  

They may even engage in intense, detailed negotiations.

I’m active duty Air Force with four properties.

Since you are an active service member the IRS will allow you to have lived in the property for two out of the previous ten years of owning it. you'd just want to verify with your accountant that you qualify for these extensions.Since you converted the property to investment, you may also take advantage of doing a 1031 exchange when you sell.

I would love someone who is an active real estate investor and is trained in tax strategy (not a requirement but the more first hand knowledge the better) Anyone got any recommendations for me?

It applies to both W-2 income and other forms of active and passive income, meaning that the STR loophole allows you to leverage depreciation beyond just real estate activity.3.
