My biggest challenge was dealing with tenants.

My biggest issue with it was a partner of the RAL academy came in on Day 3 and spent 45 minutes showing pictures of a deal he did in colorado.

Biggest lesson here for everyone is NOT to include utilities EVER!!!!!

Biggest things you’ll want your cpa to guide you through;Material participation- there’s three tests; 500 hours; 100 hours and more than anyone else’s time, and substantially all the activity.

I read "guarantees" - for me that is the biggest scam ever and right then and there either hang up the phone or delete and block the email. anytime anyone guarantees anything run and run fast.  

Of course I would recommend talking to a qualified realtor but I'm married to the biggest realtor the smokies have ever seen so I'm biased.

I am the biggest fan of Bigger Pockets, and was so happy to attend BPcon in Cancun last year, and just signed up to attend BPcon in Las Vegas.

Biggest Lesson: Deals WILL fall apart.

My biggest question is this: do you think I should continue to rent for now and prioritize tackling loans?
