I am currently a healthcare provider and hoping to use RE and other investments to create more passive income and perhaps retire early to spend more time with family and travel.

Or do you just mean since there not much appreciation currently there not much profit subject to cap gains when sold?

Wholesaling has capital gains which eats into profits big time, I actually get tax write offs instead.

The lack of capital gain would already be a huge no no for me but so is the inferior property title (foreigners can't own land in Thailand).There are so many better ways to make a 10 - 12% ROI, which by the way you're not guaranteed to get (which would be ok if you could get capital gains)!

Rule of thumbs:You should always try and B&H as compounding interest will always overcome the short-term gain. 

It allows you to ease into being a landlord, gain experience managing tenants, do repairs and property maintenance without the pressure of a tight flip timeline and while you're getting comfortable as a landlord, you can gradually build your real estate team.

Consider the capital gains tax implications if you sell the property after it has been a rental.I hope this helped, please reach out if you have any other questions!

I am new to Bigger Pockets was wondering in gaining insight about this real estate field I have some properties already I'm trying to gain information on was also wondering if any of you would be interested in working together discussing properties possibly even discussing contracts would make it easier if we could swap information as well thank you to all of you that reply back

Just like a bridge builder starts by carefully placing the first few planks, you’re setting the foundation for your investment journey.Fixing and Flipping: As the bridge extends, you gain confidence and resources.

I see too often that aspiring investors think real estate will be a much more passive source of income than your job, but I can almost guarantee you that you will extremely active especially when starting out.
