When I wanted to invest in real estate, she had no interest but was on board because of the trust and financial cushion that I banked over time.She also had veto power.

They have failed to renew my entities with the Secretaries of State multiple times, have billed me wrong amounts, and GREATEST OF ALL, have cost my business ~$50K in cumulative TAX PENALTIES due to negligence in filing for a tax extension, failing to walk me through my tax filings and needed payments, and failing to file an abatement promptly.

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

(if the buyer wants a more solid commitment)Once a buyer has spent money they are somewhat vested in buying the property and that gives additional negotiating power to the seller.

We will harness the power of our tech ability to scan and filter many opportunities on and off the market to create a funnel of properties suitable for our strategy.

In my experience, 75% of the time, the tax payer doesn't have a large enough liability to justify the accelerated depreciation anyhow- depending on your income and tax bill, it might not matter at all.

Quote from @Sandra Morrison: @Shannon LeckingerI have STRs and LTRs - your condo will be possibly more of an appreciation play but you can’t pay bills with appreciation.

That’s the power of leverage.

There is a new bill being proposed hopefully eliminating Pmi if that gets passed that would be a game changer .

Active investors absolutely have ability for higher returns, but at some point it does impact your primary job earning power.
