Hi Everyone,I am looking to get started with doing rental arbitrage with my cousin who is a Green Card holder, however, I am on a H1B Visa which restricts my ability to earn income "actively".

Day traders are not exempt unless they elect mark-to-market (MTM) accounting, which eliminates wash sale tracking but taxes gains as ordinary income.To manage taxes, track trades closely, avoid overlapping purchases, or consider MTM election if trading actively.

While this review appears comprehensive and objective at first glance, I see a concerning pattern.Looking through William Ferr's posting history on BiggerPockets, there's an unmistakable pattern of consistently promoting Jonathan Halves and his training course The Land Method and his Land Riches Blueprint, while criticizing other educators.

No active projects yet, but I’m gearing up to dive into multifamily properties, ideally 16+ units, with a focus on creative financing and NOI optimization.

I would also look at like kind properties that are listed and active in that area too.

Like @Charles LeMaireand @Justin Kane mentioned Joe Fairless and @Theo Hicks have a great book that goes over every step of the process on how to become an apartment syndicator.Are you looking for a more active or passive approach?

There is a storage deal that is actively being raised for over there that you can practice analysis on.

I remember once I was in a nice area of ATL at a closing and the attornies office was hot I asked whats up he said his two condenser got stolen that night LOL.. its a very active sport out East of the rockies we just dont hear of this on the west coast..

Getting rid of pitbulls, breaking up illegal activity, evicting nonpaying tenants, renovating to the studs so we can get higher rents.

Look at other rentals in the area and see not only how they are advertising or promoting online but also the inside and outside of the rental so you can create a similar environment to try to replicate the same results.
