I do have a good job, but the quality of life that comes along with it is not great, so I would love to transition to having my money work for me, rather than trading my time for money at some point.I have invested a bit in some debt deals on crowdfunding platforms, and recently invested in a HML fund. 

Also, if something significant is revealed during the inspection, and you want to trade remedying that issue for a vacant first floor, that could be an option, but the issue should be material and not exaggerated, and the seller should have the option to remedy the inspection issue instead of making the trade.Lastly, and somewhat unrelated, you should always require that any security deposits, and interest accrued on such deposits, be passed on to you at closing.

You've traded a TON of time and energy and risk for a higher potential reward.With turnkey, the primary benefit is that you don't need to do any of that.

I'd be happy to teach some trade secrets, just reach out.

New mortgage brokers often will not have the experience and not have built up a portfolio of lenders they know will close the deal and not re-trade mid deal.My capital markets brokers close hundreds of millions a year in loans.

Generally for tax "activities" are reported by "trade or business." 

Talk to people, trade business cards, network, ask questions.
