Thanks Dave Visaya, Elizabeth C., and Raymond B.

I’m planning on investing mainly in multi family homes Elizabeth in hopes to acquire 2 properties a year in the next year once I have to right information and strategy together.

@Elizabeth WilsonI am telling my clients to try the free option first. 

Hi Elizabeth, I am currently in the same process.

Quote from @Elizabeth Conklin: Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: follow the interest tracing rules.Some of the interest may need to be capitalized during the period of construction.If you can show that the loan was used to acquire, build, renovate the property, then potentially the interest is deductible. 

@Elizabeth Turin  Here is the subcategory on Bigger Pockets that discuss many RE courses and Coaching programs/ courses.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79-real-estat...If you listen to the podcast on this site, you will learn a lot about RE investing for free.Then there are the blog posts that also have some great information.Also attend your local REIA groups to learn from investors in your own area.Here is the link on BP for your area:https://www.biggerpockets.com/rei/maryland-real-es...I have not attended any of Carlton Sheets Seminars but as you will read on this site, most of the RE Seminars will keep up selling you for Coaching programs until you reach the $10K to $40K level for personal coaching or training.

@Savannah King and @Elizabeth Klingseisen You could also consider sending lumpy mail to these absentee owners.

We'd love to have your input @Elizabeth S. !
