It is really hard to make the case that if you have a full time job, you would fall under the 500 hour rule.

Please reach out if you are a lender or can connect me.5 Bed 2 Full Bath & 2 Half BathExisting Mortgage ~$550,000Home Value ~$1.1+ MilSounds like a great deal.

I also treated studying like a full-time job.

It’s certainly going to be more expensive than if it was done right the first time but this can’t be a big deal in the scope of a full gut.

While there's no strict requirement to match the original mortgage terms, reinvesting the full proceeds without financing or using leverage to enhance returns is key.If you don't reinvest the full amount, any shortfall ("boot") will be subject to capital gains tax, and depreciation recapture may apply.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I’m 37 and I’m wanting to do real estate full time eventually(if it takes 5-10 years, that’s fine). 

I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

The key is balancing protecting your business with connecting as a human being.

Hi Everyone,I'm not new here, but I am transitioning from full-time work to full-time investor, so I'm looking to make connection in the San Antonio area, and across all hot US rental markets. 

I am about to graduate college in May 2025, and will be making about $120k (pre tax) in my full time job postgrad (Washington DC area).
