If you smoke it on the weekends only, you are called a social smoker.

Unlike passive rental income, the income from an active trade or business is subject to self employment tax (a nasty 15% tax commonly referred to a “social security and medicare” by working folks).

Social media s pretty stong , as well as local news.Just my two centsAlex

Berkeley and oh, oodles of years of professional writing, blogging, social media, newsletter and journalism experience.  

I see more and more nurses exploring this option as baby boomers continue to retire in droves with only social security to support them.

To me, this not only makes sound business sense, but it is a socially responsible way to earn a living while providing a valuable community service.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets social media, good to see IT folks are moving into real estate, I am new here and I am working in IT company, I started learning about real estate investments.

Zillow/Trulia vale for prop1 is 140000k-155000k and prop2 is 100000k-120000k, both are owned outright and have been remodled/updated and have no liens, both are rented 1700/mo after management expenses and I,m receiving my social security which is not much 536/mo I took out a secured credit card in jul2015 and now have a score of 720-730.  

Plus I follow the guy on social media and he is just as plain and boring as the next man except you can see through him that there is money to be made in real estate.
