Rentals are a $300/month gain on your investment type of proposition.  

In general it's a passive way to own real estate as the tenant takes care of the headaches and cost of repairs in most situations. 

Connecting with other investors is a great way to share experiences, gain insights, and find opportunities.Good luck!

More interested in a passive, long-term hold at this point, but open to exploring all options.

@Matt ConcannonMatt - it depends on several factors.As Aurelien Bonin mentioned above, if they are limited partners (passive investors) they typically are not included on the loan.

Byutilizing a 1031 exchange, investors can defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of one property into another.

I have been connecting and trying to find out ways to gain funding or a loan for a 35k tax deed without clean title.

I’m a total rookie, but I’m eager to learn how to create passive income and make smart investments.I’d love to connect with experienced investors and maybe even find a mentor who can help guide me along the way.

This would also allow you to move out eventually and keep the favorable loan terms then keep the property as a passive income asset.If you could find a value- add situation and are comfortable with renovations then you could also increase rents and equity simultaneously.

If I were to sell and build the two smaller houses, I could likely fund them enough from my gains on the current rental (and a little out of pocket) so they also cashflow ~$300-400/mo each.
