Even if I could keep losses to 12k (what I would spend anyways), then I am still getting a huge tax break through deprecation and equity pay down my people staying there.

Hi all,I know that there is probably some posts on this somewhere (I think I read one or two a while back), but I have this nagging question on how to obtain more than four properties.  My wife have a newly formed LLC...

The position's that we put our families in when we push the limits to break through to the next level.  

I am looking to break through and get started in my investing career.

We have run into issues from buying properties from other wholesalers so I'm not surprised that you feel that way.You're actually the reason I made this post and the audience I am trying to break through to since wholesaling can be done honestly and efficiently where I can retain repeat investors like @James Masotti and @Brian Pulaski. 

If you think I would need more core services before I can break through the value-given threshold for investors, which services do you think would be most valuable to go after first?

Mid 2015 I quit and went full time and closed 9 deals.  2016 was my breakthrough year and I closed 24 and was on top of the world.  2017 i closed 7 and went back to being a mechanic in July to make ends meet.  

To break through this initial struggle, stay positive and rely on that network of contacts you have been building.Look for Multiple Streams of IncomeNew investors generally want to be in the rehab world.

As my wife and I explore real estate investing and try to put our passions into action, I sometimes feel discouraged and as though there is a large veil between me and my goals that I just can't break through...
