Hey bigger pockets, my name is Jonathan and I am looking to connect with real estate investors not just in California but all across the U.S.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Detroit has a lot of real estate investor meetups that you can locate in the events forum here and on meetup dot com.

I’ve been working with real estate financials for a while, and I keep seeing one mistake that costs investors thousands: poor bookkeeping leading to missed tax deductions.🚨 Common issues I see:❌ Not properly tracking repairs vs. capital improvements❌ Missing out on cost segregation & depreciation write-offs❌ Scrambling at tax time instead of planning proactivelyI’d love to hear from the group—what’s been your biggest tax headache as an investor?

Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community! 

Real Estate Commissions in some/many states may prohibit this.

Hey @Wesley Peixoto, I'd love to connect and chat about real estate.

Based on what my real estate agent thinks that this quote will be, roughly, and the after repair value, it looks like I could buy this property in cash, spend a month or two fixing the damage, and then put a mortgage for roughly 1.6x what I paid for it and thus have a cash flowing property at a few hundred dollars per month and a little more money in my bank account ready for a down payment on the next deal.
