The more stoic, grounded, and educated you are the smoother the ride.I guess my point is, I'd be leery of blast marketing emails myself. 

More than a tax strategy, these are education planning tools, and they need to be addressed in a broader context than just taxes.

@Bob Dole please tell me you have a CPA and you're simply educating yourself so that you can verify what he is saying is correct? 

Others have little/no experience and will give you bad advice that takes you down the wrong path.I recommend you focus on educating yourself while saving more money. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

I guess I may be looking for it in the wrong place or just don't know what to look for, lol, need to continue educating myself.

Its a work in progress but fun to look back and see how the planning, education, and small actions have resulted in an amazing transformation of my lifestyle and wealth. 

I'm not asking how properties/businesses are valued necessarily, though I appreciate the efforts to educate others.

I turned to the Diontalk Binder strategy which educates the tenants on the current price of market rents, section 8, etc, and what I could potentially earn if they were to move out ( In this case being 1500 for a 3b 1ba). they then realize this and know paying a $400 increase (36.6% Increase) would be the best option vs moving out, living in cheaper housing, or going to market rent in the area.

Do you recommend any resources I can use to educate myself of landlord-tenant laws?
