Quote from @Travis Tamillo: Hello all, Im about to retire from the Navy and am super excited about becoming a Real Estate Agent.

Real estate investment can be incredibly rewarding, between the cashflow, appreciation, and tax benefits, it truly is the greatest wealth creation tool. 

Hello all,Has anyone sold a short term rental owned over a year  as a non real estate professional that qualified as short term capital gains tax deductions with expenses and depreciation?

Maybe, but so far the reports are about neighborhoods where people have real money.

Your responsibility is the help the public in all their real estate needs.

I recommend you read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene.

She’s the love of my life and we have a baby girl due April 29th- I was scared to go to my first real estate investment meetup.

The South Florida will eventually be a retirement home and I got real lucky there so far.  

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

Regardless, it shoukd be a lot less expensive than a real staging.
