Today, I used those proceeds to purchase a 5-unit commercial retail building without coming out of pocket at all.

I was planning on searching here today to see if I can find any meetups in our area.

Quote from @Kathy Kifer: I'm so glad I stumbled across this today.

It's like going to those who bought it and saying "hey, here is some cash today but give us 50% of your revenues from all the work your doing". 

As an update - received all my rents by noon EST today via RentRedi...

Even finding 1 is tough in todays market, let alone 3!

Today I had a new situation and obviously can't advise on tax/legal matters, but hoping to get some insight from the community.Managing a property for a client who divorced her domestic partner last year.

We can't make people clean up after themselves and keep things as we would but the day to day dealing with voucher tenants is not the worst. 

The fact I can go to my kid's golf game today, yet still catch a vendor overcharging me $81 the day before on a SFR in Georgia makes me feel the systems that are in place, plus the ability to manage sacrifices has paid off.I've had the same team in most of businesses for almost 8 years, and have a growing RE team that continue to impress me. 

Today I will look to make sure that property is optimized on Airbnb.
