If you're a landlord, then you'll want to educate yourself on the local laws.

Even if one has to provide the education to some of the parties as to why a particular creative solution makes a win-win-win for all. 

Pull your tenant-landlord laws for your area and arm yourself with as much education as you can about being a first time landlord. 

Education is very important, so I’m taking a self taught course to get my permit tech certificate.

💹*Reminder- The Pearl Development is predicted to create over 11,000 jobs in Mecklenburg County within the next 10 years & will be both a medical education institution and an international headquarters. 

I'd also like to plug Bigger Pockets because of what you said, but also because of the education you can get here on the website.  

It’s not for the casual, would-be investor.However, your BEST investment is always in your own education.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Looking for some input...I'm working on educating myself more when it comes to various tax benefits and trying to decide what would be the best route for me moving forward.

After two years your only profit will be the education you gained.
