@Kevin ApolinarioCongratulations on taking the steps toward your first real estate investment!

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

As already mentioned, you could sell via seller financing to lower AGI, as all you would have to claim is the payment income - until balloon payment received.Did know an investor that had 14 properties paid off and he moved into one every two years to then sell with the $250k single exemption.

Collecting rent rolls, walking properties, learning who's doing the best in our sector/niche and how they're doing it, finding partners, all of these things I'm fairly good at, as I've been doing this for my recruiting agency for the past 3 years.

I have properties in a few different markets.

Quote from @Henry Jay: Hello, me to real estate and look for knowledge in flipping and rental properties. 

Quote from @Brian Hill: Do anyone have a recommendation for a San Antonio Real Estate Attorney that deals with creative financing and title work? 

I would like to start investing in real estate once I get situated down there.

The new property has to make $50k plus $12k/yr more than the existing property just to break even.

Game changer for active investor looking to get more passive investments, busy professional looking to diversify in real estate, individual investor looking to get into commercial or larger assets.
