Find a reliable team, offer fair pay, and keep them motivated to stick with you for future projects.That’s what I have off the top of my head.

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

High earners should also consider estate planning tools like trusts or Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) to minimize future tax burdens.Given his income level and tax complexity, consulting a real estate-focused CPA is essential to maximizing deductions and optimizing tax efficiency.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

The recipient inherits your original cost basis, which is used to calculate their future capital gains when they sell the property.

It seems like the perfect place, BiggerPockets, for finding people who are like-minded, asking them questions, and learning how to become a future investor.I believe that no matter how unforgiving the market may seem, the right tools, knowledge, and preparation can help minimize risk and create opportunities.

You might use the word in the future to explain your idea.
