I am in a position where I am actively looking to complete my first investment purchase. 

Knowledge is great but in my opinion it’s useless if you’re not actively using it, and it could be very dangerous if you’re accessing wrong or old information to solve new problems. 

I already sent the video (You see screenshots of a video) to my plumbers and handyman but just wanted to be Pro-Active and put it in the forums for any thoughts of what this could be so I can kind of get an idea of what this could be and the fix.If possible, could you please list your opinions on what could have cause this also?

@Joe Scaparra you are pretty much spot on in your assumptions, though while I do not have any experience in real estate beyond purchasing primary residences, I am actively working on buying my first rental property (in another state).

It seems good for me being passive but as active as I want to be by asking questions and staying in the loop. 

Will definitely look into it.5- My thought process of syndication is to diversify my portfolio with some active and some passive investments.

I asked him if we can use that large combined losses being carried over to this year to offset my 2024 W-2 given that we can activate the real state profesional status this year to offset W-2 income without limitations.

I’m active duty Air Force with four rental properties.

Essentially no income details are required and the loan is based off of the collateral of the property and income, calculated using the active rents, appraisal rent schedule or even STR income or projected income.

AS a lifelong resident, active investor, and licensed agent specializing in investment properties, I'd be happy to serve as a resource.
