Our land first jumped in value when a professional sports stadium was build two blocks away about 10 years ago.

Join the Rarebird organization.. run by two very experienced folks in the space 30 to 50 members come every month guest speakers..no pitching..and you can make some nice contacts.the market is Oregon you will find to be quite different than most of GA.. there simply is not the amount of distressed assets.

Being organized, thorough are what I am great at.

I'm happy to say that my interest in wholesaling has come organically.

For example, if you have like 10 properties, and you need to record all your operating expenses, nets, location of properties, all sorts of things, is that what investors refer to when they say, organizing my portfolio and such?

I spoke to a local Bar owner and he said we can do it at his place as long as it doesn’t coincide with big sporting events.....and we drink a bit.

I also have organized a meetup in the area, but we're thinking of merging it with the one @Kyle Eckert coordinated so we can get a bigger group together.

Advice: Treat it like a business as much as you can, even though house-hacking can feel like a hobby, stay organized, and take care of your property and your tenants (pride of ownership, people notice this), for all properties but especially for househacks.I definitely think the pros outweigh the cons, especially folks with flexibility of time and lifestyle.

Call them on lunch, be ready to email, and scan your way to financial freedom.3) Get organized, this is a business you are about to undertake in.

@Ali QudsiUnless you are some not-for-profit organization - you will be required to pay property taxes.There are some instances that you buy a newly developed land/building and the county strikes a deal with you that you won't have to pay property taxes for X years but will ultimately have to pay them once the period is over.You can decrease your taxable income related to rental properties with depreciation.
