Consider how you'll reinvest rental income, save for future down payments, and scale your real estate portfolio over time.Ultimately, the decision to invest in real estate or continue with your index fund investment depends on your individual circumstances, goals, and risk tolerance.

Where I got a ton of value was from the individual 30-60 minutes "meetings" in the hotel coffee shop, lobby, or bar with other participants.

Here's mine:90% Real Estate 7% IRA SP5003% Cash 0% Crypto, options, individual stocks 

I'm a well rounded individual and will do everything in my power to help you get what you want.

That's if you think from small individual realtor perspective. 

Worth looking into if it would be worth more as split lots sold individually.

My LLC for PM would be taxed as a sole proprietorship unless I had other employees, which would equate to being considered just another source of regular income for me, meaning the $1000 I paid would be taxed at my individual income rate (25%) for a total of $250, meaning I would still only keep $7500.However, if I had more than just myself employed by the LLC and made less than $50k/year, I would only be taxed at 15% on the money I allocated for PM, or in this case, $150.

You have an investing group, which I assume means an LLP of some kind which means you are paying the self employment taxes etc because you are not an individual.

I look forward to connecting with like minded individuals. 

Connecting with like-minded individuals can be incredibly valuable as you navigate the world of real estate investing.
