The reality is a lot harder than some books make it sound like.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals. Do you know of any good websites where I can post my deals?

With that being said, do yourself a favor and do the research yourself on zoning, valuation and ACTUAL rent before talking to STR specialists who make a living on selling these =) Just my 2 cents...

You can do it either way and reality is you will never be audited. 

@Nick Rivers If you've already taken courses and webinars, then the only thing that will help you become more proficient is by actually underwriting deals on a regular basis. 

That way when a deal is brought to you, you know the seller actually wants to sell.

I’ve never actually been legally owed money before so I was green on how to handle things while trying to be understanding and respecting other lifestyles and career choices.

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.  

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!
