My name is William Taylor, I am extremely excited to be a Pro Member in the BiggerPockets community and ready to gain immense knowledge from all of the contributors.

I think I would try to get past the one-year mark for capital gains then sell it.

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie. 

Now Im looking to maximize my potential, gain some financial independence and start making my money work for me and not work for my money.

I had an experience with a terrible tenant who reported me for a bogus claim but by making the claim it allowed me to gain access needed to get photos of the condition of the property, and then the tenant refused to allow maintenance people in which really helped prove my side of the situation.If possible, explore alternative dispute resolution options like offering the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement.

After five years you'll have earned $90,000 in rent income and gained $34,000 in appreciation.Buy four houses with $50,000 down on each.

Was able to gain some leverage prior to negotiating which resulting in a great outcome What was the outcome?

Starting sooner rather than later allows you to benefit from long-term appreciation, build equity, and gain hands-on experience, even with a smaller property.

For short-term gains, options like private lending, where your IRA acts as the lender, can provide consistent returns through interest payments.

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.
