Welcome @Bianca Meza all the best on your real estate journey!!

It was a big moment in my real estate journey.

Quote from @Katie Accashian: I am looking to take money from my retirement that I accumulated from my previous employer and move it into a self directed IRA to buy a real estate investment.

It’s still surreal to me that I’m able to own real estate at 20, but I know this is just the beginning.

It’s always great to connect with others who share a passion for real estate investing.

My name is Marc and I am just starting my journey of finding creative ways to invest and make profit from my real estate knowledge.

Wow, just getting started with INVESTMENT real estate.  

What if I am sending the voicemail/text blast to a list generated from ads for real estate for rent?

I can see an explicit exception in CA Tax Code § 17561 that says you can not use the qualifications in Section 469(c)(7) (Real estate professional) to render that income as non-passive, but I see no callout for 1.469-1T and, as such - as a non-CPA - I do not (yet) see a reason why we cannot follow the same rules for CA that we do for our federal taxes; e.g., if the business is not a "rental" business per tax code, we count that income as non-passive and offset other income (W2, etc) similarly.Does anybody else have some guidance (or opinions) on this matter?

For us, still in a growth mode, we take action and figure out how to redeploy that equity into other real estate through either cash-out refinancing or selling and 1031!
