I recognize RE is more work.  

Your reporting on your federal return shows whatever recognized gain is recognized. 

One area I recognize I’m lacking in is networking.

I recognize that the cost benefit may be negated by other challenges; hence, my question.

We self manage from NY and FL.This location has proven to be on point.

All of that is proven with the spreadsheet and payments you made electronically. 5.

When a seller makes claims and promises about what they sell (no matter what the product is), and it's proven that they have not followed through on their claims/promises, the buyer has rights. 

Just recently, I'm looking for a rental for a client and recognized a property that just recently sold. 

Which is a lesson learned for me because I need to plan things out and recognize issues faster.
