Quote from @Kalen Adamson: That does clear things up, thank you for the input, I think I'm stuck paying the tax on this set of shares  Happy to help, taxes aren't always bad, it means that your shares grew and you made money on them! 

Not to mention, you just grew your investor network!

Built a portfolio of 13 doors i over the course of 6 years while working a W2 before selling everything in 2019.Left my W2 around 2016 to work for a MF syndicator full-time for about 6 years (2016 to 2021) which grew to a little over $1B in AUM.

Amid the fall in active listings, the months of inventory (MOI) experienced a small decrease to 3.6 with Austin contributing heavily to the fall, dropping over 10 percent.Construction starts grew while construction permits remained effectively unchanged, according to data from Dodge Construction Network.

I grew up in Berkley, and own a few investment properties in Metro Detroit. 

@Ardian SelimiYou said Alaska high cost of labor makes it hard to pencil out on existing homes but I think that would apply to the new builds also.For personal residences, I have rehabbed a house hack and buy two homes and the builds came out unpredictable even though the first home’s national production builder and the second home’s local custom builder both had plenty of experience with cost and labor estimates.For my RE investments, I went with where I could have a a good chance with building a team/knowledge/mentoring/experience.I grew up in a house hack, started with a house hack and then started with student rentals and then out of state airbnbs.

A lot has changed since the 1960s.Most of the boomers grew up in a 1,200 sqft ranch with one bathroom on 0.1 acre.

her and her husband both retired from their day jobs and have all these gorgeous renovated SFRs. the key was that they got better and better at BRRRing and the nest egg grew just a little bit with each cashout/refi, so they could do bigger/better deals, then multiple deals at once. this obviously took time, but they're getting ALL the perks of REI: debt paydown, appreciation, tax benefits, cashflow, the opportunity to provide beautiful safe housing in the city they live in... if you BRRR'd your way to a few STRs instead of LTRs, you could probably arrive at that 7k/mo number pretty quick. also consider BRRRing to MTRs. gator lending is short-term / transational lending, usually to wholesalers for deposits. pace morby has a course on it. most people i'm sure take the course, do nothing with the information, make no money, then complain and say the course didn't work lol. but i do know tons of people actually make great money gator lending.flips obviously work too but you usually LOSE money on the first one, break even if you're fortunate... it's very active work too, so doing flips while you're still working full time, idk, not a fan personally. you'd have to KEEP flipping to KEEP making 7k/mo, vs with BRRRing you'll eventually get to that 7k/mo and can stop or regroup.

I grew up playing competitive sports and it took me until I started working out to realize that to see results you have to consistently show up for long periods of time.

I grew up here and currently invest in Columbus.
