Outside of real estate, I’m a huge sports fan, so you can usually find me glued to almost every game on the weekends.My interest in real estate began as I explored different ways to generate passive income, which ultimately led me to the BiggerPockets community.

I have 880 credit score, decent savings, and no other debt except for 300K mortgage on my primary residence (worth $1.5 million).

This speaks volumes about the challenges Buyers are facing when it comes to saving enough cash to purchase a home.It’s a reminder that understanding what Buyers need most is key to creating deals that work for everyone.

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

I also wanted to benefit from tax saving before the years end with a new property purchase.

If you plan to have it for more than 4 years I would suggest to do a cash out refinance because you will save in interest rate. 

Attend local builder associations or networking events, and focus on small contractors or businesses without in-house permit expertise.Highlight how you save time and ensure compliance—it’s a big value-add.

So, start saving now while you are in High School. 

I have now saved $200k (liquid) that is ready to be deployed.

Im basically looking for advice on how i can save as much on taxes as possible.Part of the property is your primary residence, which does not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.
