I have 2 questions as it relates to taxes for fix and flipping.

Do you want to be a real estate investor or do you want to be a housekeeper?

My friend is a real estate investor who had an SDIRA account with Vantage IRA out of scottsdale, AZ.

I would suggest to try some local real estate meetup groups.

It will be ok one day, then flipped the next.Thanks!

Look forward to getting more serious about my real estate investing. 

You can find templates for joint venture agreements on BiggerPockets or other real estate investment websites.Next, consider joining local real estate meetups or online groups where you can network with other investors.

Any REGULAR monthly meetups you know of happening in Rochester, Buffalo, or Syracuse?
We have our own in Rochester, but a lot of others that we knew of kind of fizzled out.
Trying to direct people to the right places!

I'm a newbie myself to the community, but not to real estate!

So I am familiar with soflo.One strategy I am trying to implement is The 4-3-2-1 Strategy:Start with a 4-unit property: Live in one unit, rent out the others to cover your mortgage and expenses.Repeat with 3-unit, 2-unit, and attain your dream home last (1 unit property)After 12 months of living in each property, consider a cash out refinance to use equity for improvements or further investments, if beneficial for you.Build a real estate portfolio of 10 rental units in a 3 year span while generating rental income.
