No real estate needed.  

Here’s the Real Secret: Sellers want to feel understood, not sold to.

It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

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

Does anyone have a real estate attorney recommendation to review a property management lease?

@John Zhang If your wife qualifies for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) and materially participates in managing rental properties, there is no limit on the amount of rental losses, including depreciation, that can offset your W-2 income.

I'm a newbie to real estate investing and am currently focused on intensely educating myself about all things real estate and how to get my first rental property deal.

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

Since you said you are selling your building I’d argue you already have been a real estate investor.
