I'm just wondering how to handle the capital gain tax between me and my partner.

Can local investors in Real estate still gain returns that change family history?

I also estimate that, after accounting for a 10% vacancy, I could rent the property for about $1,800 per month.Even with that ($400) cash flow, I still feel like I’d be better off than where I am now, between the experience I’d gain, the equity I’d build, and the appreciation and tax benefits.

I am selling a property in CA with a pretty hefty gain (great!)

As you gain experience on what you really couldn’t learn from books or podcasts, you will have the fallback of the annuities to bail you out.

Many people believe investing in real estate is a passive activity, but that's rarely the case.

We're currently working in the business quite a bit right now, but as it grows we'll be hiring to have it fully staffed with passive income to cover our current expense plus more. 

Right now, I am not in need of passive or even income on a month to month basis. 

Leveraging the 5% down conventional loan is a brilliant way to minimize upfront costs while still gaining a foothold in appreciating markets like Gilbert, AZ.

Nickerson added “exchanging” real estate to upgrade to larger holdings without paying capital gains tax to his formula, and a number of other books were written about the subject in the next 10 years.
