I've regularly attended the auction in Brooklyn, but never bidded on anything.

@Jorge Liang I have regular exterior pest control at several of my properties.

It just runs and runs with regular cleaning with cleaning descaler tablets 2x a year.

Funny enough, the house I made an offer on before the one I closed on I did go through multiple inspections: electrical, plumbing, and regular inspection and I ended up walking away from that one.

I started investing in 2019, got my license in 2021 and was initially with a residential broker that was primarily focused on retail transactions (aka sales, purchases, leases, for regular end user folks). 

I would look for a custodian who does not charge a fee based on your assets.I normally see the costs being A one time set-up fee along with an annual reoccuring fee.The thing you want when opening up an SDIRA is that the return that you will make with alternative investments will be greater than the fee that is charged to you for the SDIRA plus the return you would have likely gotten with a regular IRA.

This seems like a lot of work to save 15% of $35k in taxes (Less than $5k.) especially if you have transfer taxes or title insurance, or you convert your long term 15% rate in to your son’s regular income tax bracket.I hate paying taxes as much as the next guy but this lemon isn’t worth squeezing.

A Mastermind Group by my definition is a small, regular meeting of peers and is free!

When we show up to more events or talk to him on phone calls and webinars(regularly, like every week), he KNOWS who we are and can communicate with us in a manner I have NEVER experienced before.

Especially a meet up on private lending, ADU additions are discussed regularly (new attendees looking for money for their ADU additions without being aware that no one there will lend on ADU additions).
