@Hector Lewis - The decision ultimately depends on your current cash reserves relative to your financial needs, as well as your willingness to reinvest for potential appreciation.

I am very new to real estate investing and I am now putting an offer in for my first potential investment property.

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

The deduction is optimized as values increase and can potentially offset the entire net investment (including down payment) for high wage earners.

Additionally you can do a cost segregation study and get a lot of depreciation benefits to offset the rental income (and potentially other income).  

Our vision was ambitious, and we were optimistic about the potential returns.

They collect EMD from multiple potential buyers - then transferred the EMD into an interpleader accounts in hopes of absconding with all the EMD. 

Their money, your labor is a potential disaster in the making; what if they don't like the install? 

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.

I seriously looked into purchasing a few years back in Valencia but decided ultimately the US had more potential.
