I have been working full-time in real estate for 17 years with experience in residential, horse property, land, rental, distressed, and fix&flip's.I agree with everyone that the eastside is great, but that can also be the problem, a lot of people chasing the same properties.

That said, at the risk of beating a dead horse, it seems to be the general consensus that the 20% QBI deduction will apply to most landlords, as we've already discussed on a few other threads.My opinion is to issue 1099s wherever possible in the hopes it further solidifies the "trade or business" stamp.Thoughts??

don't look a gift horse in the mouth... 

@Anthony GaydenWe all fall off of that high horse from time to time.

Oh well, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make her drink.

In fact, the only schooling I had after graduating from high school was an audio engineering program from a tiny school called Dark Horse Institute in Franklin, Tennessee.

@Tom Gimer  I know this horse left the barn years ago in our market.. will you guys facilitate this. 

This is an entrepreneur's game of cart before the horse and horse before the cart at once--place property under contract not knowing if the deal will happen and spending at-risk soft cost dollars. 

Straight from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Even a one horse town has tons of folks who simply can’t get a mortgage that must rent . 80% of millennials cant qualify for a home loan ...80%!
