@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Maintaining a financial track record for your project is facilitated by effective budgeting.3.

You'll want to put together a personal financial statement (basically lists of all your assets and liabilities) and have your tax returns ready.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

A turnover means repairs, painting, cleaning, marketing, vacancy time, and lost rent, so a small discount is often a better financial decision than churning tenants every year.There’s a lot more to consider, but these are some key lessons I’ve learned.

So you have bad financial terms working against you along with finding properties, making deals, getting financing etc Secondly - for me it's time consuming.

They love the idea of wealth, financial freedom, but don't want to put their own financials on the line.

I work full time at a decent job, but have quickly learned that I needed to make some changes in my families life by securing our financial future.
