I have been investing in real estate for the past 15 years but more actively for the past 10 years.

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..

@Nathan Deutsch what are your next 3 steps in your investing journey?

Material participation in the rental activities still required. 

Follow up outside the activities to ask for business and see how you can serve them as well in their business.Best wishes and good luck.

Which is a tax when you do an active business in your IRA but it is essentially the same thing. 

Hi, everyone. I'm Rennell. I joined BP in 2022 and never actually got into Real Estate. I'm at a point where I'm ready now. I'd like to start out with Wholesaling and work my way up from there. If there's anyone else ...

Hello - I'm new to Bigger Pockets, excited to get my real estate investment journey going.I own a Condo in Chicago with a friend of mine (split 50/50), which I've lived in for about 5 years.

Depending on the situation, a taxpayer could offset some of the passive losses with active income.

I am not sure how active his company Open Door is on BP.
