How much cash flow makes it worth it, in your opinion?

Quote from @Andrew Syrios: Make sure to swing by the MAREI meetup groups.

I would make strong connections with foresters and logging outfits.

PPSF quoting will not give you the true info you need to make an educated decision.

I joined in hopes of getting into my first deal in this upcoming year and making the connections that will help me achieve that 

You can't actually pay it off directly because they've been securitized, and the people who invested in those securities did so because of the specific certainty of the payment schedule.What you do in a defeasance is use the proceeds of the sale or the funds from your new lender to purchase treasury bonds that are packaged to make the exact payment amounts and timings on the remaining term of the loan, and then assign those bonds to your old lender.

Quote from @Martin Jones: YouTube gurus will tell you to borrow money from someone else, but that's bad advice for a beginner.

A couple of months ago, I purchased a property using a hard money loan for $115,000.

I've been a long-time watcher from the sidelines, and I'm finally ready to start making some real estate investments in South Florida.

I use apartments.com, so the money didn't end up in my account until 1/6/25.Is this considered income for 2024 or 2025?
