Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Won't be really actively looking until late March or April. 

Curious because my son is an agent but is not active.

In my opinion it would be cleaner to split partnership based on monetary contribution and then remunerate each active party for their work if the active work is more on one partner than the other.

I’m currently active on BiggerPockets to connect with like-minded investors, exchange ideas, explore potential opportunities, and provide opportunities through my network to collaborate with others.

I am still in the learning phase, but I am actively researching some local markets to hopefully find something this year.

@Victor Yang To use the rental losses to offset any active income (W2), you'd have meet Real Estate Professional status (which would be difficult to do with a W2 job because you'd have to work more on real estate than any other job to qualify) OR have an AGI of $150K or less.

Follow up outside the activities to ask for business and see how you can serve them as well in their business.Best wishes and good luck.

I was curious to learn more and liked the idea of niche diversification outside of my current active real estate business.

There is an active movement now to get this to the DOJ and state AG's.
