So far, this approach has saved my team so much time when sourcing on market deals.

- The type of account(s) that hold your life savings is important in this decision (ie. savings, brokerage, pre-tax retirement, Roth retirement).

Quote from @Jonathan Snider: I have been saving up for a while to purchase my first STR.

Doing the math for maintenance savings: $200.00 month, Cashflow: $308.93. 

Historically used online software without much issue.Now that I'm looking at the settlement statements from 2004 and looking at a sizeable depreciation recapture hit, I came across a number of questions / issues:1) I believe in 2010 I incorrectly set my basis (I did not include the parking space and upgrades to the units - granite, flooring, etc.).

Usually that is the end of the communication unless they show up to the open house or complete an application online.

Its great that you have saved some money and have a desire but investing involves a risk of loss.

I joined this community because I want to get my hands dirty and not just meet people online but form some real connections and try to provide value back to those that are willing to offer me advise and guidance, and even encouragement.So, this is my current situation:Back in 2020 I was one of the fortunate ones who purchased real estate when prices were still low (compared to today) and interest rates where at 3% or below.

Nor have I been able to find an online application that I can fill out. 

You're spending X to save(earn) Y.
