I imagined I needed to generate some sort of statement for him to write-off the interest on the bridge loan and figured I probably needed a statement form to reflect the proceeds from the joint venture flip. 

And, I don't know anything about New Mexico or Las Cruces, but I imagine it is like any other market: there are pockets within a market that are worth all of $70k, $100k, etc, and there are pockets are worth FAR less than that.

Imagine making millions of dollars throughout your career and then having to pay Uncle Sam 30-50% every year instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of the best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.
