Ive been in contact with a real estate investor friendly realtor I was matched up with through the bigger pockets website.

I have a friend who bought the lot behind her house so she would never have someone behind her.

One of my friends had a house where the neighbors tree had a huge branch that crossed the property line and was actually overhanging and touching his roof. 

Or if that’s not allowed sell it to a friend who will then sell it to my personal IRA at a discounted rate so when I turn 65 and sell the properties , I don’t have to pay any tax on all of my properties assuming I don’t sell them until they are in my IRA account…

I had a friend who house-hacked a duplex and found that while being next-door helped him quickly resolve issues, it was tricky keeping the relationship professional.

When you tell your friends you are a real estate investor, they want to hear you are investing in flips and cool multifamily properties.

Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3.

I do it several times a day as a habit now.I absolutely agree with the suggestion above to make friends with realtors.

I recently went into a 50/50 LLC with a college friend to buy our first property in the college town we attended.

Also, what are you doing to make sure you are speaking to the actual landlord and not an applicant's friend posing as their landlord?
