Today we grabbed dinner together and kinda got on the subject of teams since the vast majority of the office we work at is all on one single team, like 41 agents on the same team under 1 veteran agent.

And with a great community like BP, any questions you have on the subject can be answered and you can meet all of the people necessary to be successful.

Rick and arlanMy main reason to want to pay them off is too be done "working" and sell my small business As for the risk of the taxes and insurance. .....to me that's not risk(subjective of course)Thank you so much for the continued responses, it's helping me think through this decision 

Although I do think it's not a really black vs white subject, there are numerous places that cash flow and appreciate.

Just my two cents -- this subject has been discussed ad nauseum on the boards, so if you poke around a bit, you can definitely get other perspectives than mine.That being said, you mentioned a property 1.5 hours away.  

I'm hoping to connect with other tax deed investors to help me expand my knowledge on the subject.

I have been reading everything I can on the subject and regularly attend the Pittsburgh REIA meetings but I don't have a lot of money to work with after a recent divorce so I'm saving what I can to get started.

If they did it while being licensed they would be subject to disciplinary action by the real estate commission.

If you engage your IRA in an active business such as flipping properties then income of an IRA generated by this activity will be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT), but again - the IRA will be responsible for this, not you personally. 

@Javier Acosta There's a huge difference between "assuming" a loan and buying a property "subject to."
