While I don’t yet own investment properties, my wife and I have successfully remodeled and sold a home for a profit, and I’m eager to build on that experience.

It's the safest way to start and it's a guaranteed profit when you get the right deal!

If both houses were sold in 2024 then the loss will negate the profit from my understanding.

They usually have a small upcharge on the work done but it's generally not a profit center for them. 

So back to being a real estate investor: the only way to be one is to buy a property and create value out of it, whether through finding a below market value house and selling for a profit, or renting and creating cash flow.  

And I am betting the headaches is why seller is so motivated and is flashing that $ and hyping it up like it's so profitable, yeah come on do it, it's so great..... it's so great they are chomping at the bit to get out from under it. 

I want to pursue the case without legal help but I fear she might use my email to double down on harassment claims and go for appeal.Really down atm so please advise :)

If you make it to Memphis, we invest pretty heavily in the youth club game down here and our non-profit, Cancer Kickers Soccer Club, is the first non-profit to be on the jersey of a professional soccer team, 901 FC of the USL. 

It's not just the taxes, but being able to at-a-glance look at expenses by the month and year, profit and loss calculating automatically, and even cash flow by property and total portfolio by month and year.Thanks for suggesting it!

Not that there isn't some opportunity, but investing from afar, I don't really have the chance to get a crew that can do the rehab on the homes that I think would turn a profit.
