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

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.

If anyone here has any ideas how to make this happen, let me know and we will make a Million dollars in one day.If the hedge fund has lets say 20% of their investments not preforming, and you were meeting with your Edward Jones guy, he will never suggest you invest in any under preforming fund.So just remember to do the right thing and get an Education.

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?
