We refer folks to bank-type lenders regularly throughout the year when that make more sense for our clients. 

Regular maintenance updates from your property manager—such as quarterly reports outlining requests, costs, and resolutions—can also help you stay informed and track spending trends over time.Building relationships with local contractors or networking with other investors in Cleveland can also be valuable.

I just want to hear from regular investors about their experience.   

I guess a lot of Scott's buyers are under water the day they sign a loan, so he must be regularly evicting and reselling some of those houses.

The value of the property and how it’s distributed relative to ownership stakes will determine whether it counts as a taxable event, I believe(I’m not a CPA or attorney). 

I have dabbled in real estate, but never heard of brrrr before now, and transparently never did much research outside of knowing that property ownership was a way to reduce my taxable income. 

There are still tons of MLS deals getting done regularly. 

My questions are;Do I have to take expenses as a deduction in a year in which they occurred even if I do not get income until the following year  I have other rental property, but my taxable income on them after expenses is only gonna be about $5000 So is there anyway to roll over expenses to the next year since I cannot deduct the remaining 15,000 and expenses against my W-2 income?

You are tagging and categorizing the CapEx items correctly or are they going to "regular" operational expense?

The current real estate environment that we've been in for the past several years hasn't presented any opportunities for deals like this.Because of the above bullet point, my real estate folio is kicking off a ton of profit each year which is fully taxable at ordinary income rates for me with federal plus state that means 42%From day one we've always self-managed everything, and built a great team of sub’s and handymen in every area, so that I’ve never had to do any labor.
