My husband is incredibly handy and loves reno’s (he will lose sleep from the excitement of finishing a project).

The IRS still doesn't like "short term" 1031s, with good reason - you need to ensure that you can 100% support that it was not a flip.This was not uncommon during 2020-2022 when prices were increasing at an incredible rate, I did have a few clients where they acquired a property that was truly intended to be a rental property, had a long history of buy / renovate / hold rentals, and then the market just blew up so fast that it changed the investment analysis for that property, or in several cases they actually just received unsolicited offers that they couldn't refuse.  

Connecting with like-minded individuals can be incredibly valuable as you navigate the world of real estate investing.

When I was in high school we have a Business class, an automotive shop and even a building trades program where the class would divide into AM and PM groups where land would be bought and entitled then they under the supervision of an incredible teacher named Gene would build a home and sell it after completion.

Yes that can be an option but at the moment right now i have a deal in the works where i would need more then 50K to be able to make the numbers work 

Essentially at that moment you own them outright and could sell them without additional tax. 

We decided to furnish and try MTR and WOW the demand was incredible, we cash flow well over $1500/mo!

Moment you start providing investment advice or a deal does not pan out and you were paid for that service what liability would you have?

My tenant pays most of my mortgage for me and I became incredibly determined to try and get another deal in the near future.

Our market is definitely a seller’s market at the moment but that may change soon.
