Here is a meetup in the OCOC Real Estate Investor Networking - Tax Tricks Every Investor Should Know (biggerpockets.com)Good Investing...

I think you know the trick since you're realtor LOL

It's time, though, for me to expand into new opportunities and learn more tricks of the trade to grow a robust portfolio.

Just be open about it with your lender and they will help you out.If you intend on managing the rental on your own, I'd recommend searching the forums for tips/tricks on dealing with renters.

The problem is that the majority do exactly that, but a great professional real estate agent knows what boxes to check and the tricks of the trade.

Need help finding a duplex … tips, tricks, advice, or properties welcome!

Hello I'm a 17 year old very interested  into getting into rental properties, What are some good tips/tricks or books/Podcast  etc.... to read.

I would describe it as a one trick pony town.

The horror stories are people buying too cheap and buying bad houses.Lots of great opportunities in Metro Detroit.LogicalPM can manage.We just heavily recommend not buying the cheapest property or getting tricked by a wholesaler on a $15k “great opportunity”.Just buy the good stuff.Metro Detroit (my rental portfolio is here)Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/doorAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C+, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties.

So it can be done if you really have tight subs and can push them to start each phase as soon as the previous one ends.There are some other tricks we've learned to improve quality and turnaround as well - prefinished siding and tongue and groove.
