. (#1 appreciating city 2023)I personally make well over $100k/yr cash flow from 21 properties here.

Real Estate Agent uses commission earned on the subject property toward their own down payment when they are also the buyer of that same property (personal residence).

Add calendars so my investments are separate from personal but make it better.

Well, I can say from my personal experience owning only A/B located properties, if you maintain all appropriate licenses, take care of your properties, and are responsive to your tenants its smooth sailings.

Quote from @Peter Tverdov: Think at least for the text standpoint it is challenging in this market now where I know personally 3 people that have been in lawsuits with one ringing in at $500,000 for cold text messages to people that did not want to be marketed to, so to @Jonathan Greene point on that for sure.I think that cold calling is a true skill that really no one (or 1%) will end up doing, and I 100% agree that VAs do not do it right..

Intangible assets like goodwill or tangible personal property (e.g., equipment) are excluded from 1031 treatment and are taxed separately—goodwill is typically taxed as a capital gain, while equipment may be subject to depreciation recapture taxed as ordinary income.To minimize taxes on the sale of the business, consider strategies such as Opportunity Zone investments, which defer gains until 2026 if proceeds are reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF), or structuring the sale as an installment agreement to spread taxable income over multiple years.

Quote from @Quinzel Waiters:I would just keep looking and follow up with the person.

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

Was it real property or personal property?

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out?
