I've been investing in the stock market for 30+ years, but am at the point where I'm ready to diversify more into real estate.I've been lurking on the forums here for quite some time and I am amazed at the value of the posts and level of knowledge that exists here.

I'm looking to get into wholesaling as my entry into the market and what better way to start building a real estate portfolio?

A new build next to us has been on the market for a few months and hasn't sold.

Laud area-Cash flow is minimal, $300 a month-Selling now would allow opening up of equity to redeploy in another market with over 2x the cash flow for a new build-New market won't appreciate as much as FL though (not even close)-Current home will likely get hit with higher taxes, insurance etc. in coming year and years to come-Biggest reason to consider just keeping current property?

@Ashley Madalone guessing you're asking what the tax ramifications of using pre-tax business funds to invest are.Not aware of a way to buy real estate and avoid paying taxes on the funds unless he'll use the real estate in his business.His tax professional will probably advise he take the funds out as a loan, at a market rate & payment terms.

Do you know which markets in particular you're looking at?

Something turn-key is typically going to be sold at market price (unless you can find a deal off market as you mentioned).

Hey all,I'm looking to enter the RE market with a few rental properties, ideally in the Chicago suburbs.

The Akron market has good fundamentals.

There is a large demand for efficient distribution and storage of goods, thus many investors are looking for ways to increase their financial performance while continuing to remain competitive in the market.
