Getting your "feet wet", isn't a learning move, at least not a good one. 

He was a really cool person.

@Drew Sygit Cool thanks I'll look into DSR loans! 

You can do some really cool, unique, and creative designs with containers.Do seniors want to build/buy in a rural area vs city area? 

Sometimes if outside you will see a wet spot in the lawn.

Definitely a great place to learn and connect with other investors and start to get your feet wet. 

Cool thanks!

Here's the back story: My wife and I are about to move states, and when we do, we will be shopping for a house hack, but in the meantime, we want to get our feet wet with a small multifamily property in Cincinnati.

Essentially you are creating future tax free income by being able to roll over these losses.If your income is between $100,000 and $150,000, a portion of that $150 loss is deductible and the rest rolls forward.If your income is less than $100,000, your loss is fully deductible - and THAT's the cool thing about rental income. 

We are local contractors in the area looking to get our feet wet in the real estate investing waters.
