I’m hoping to establish a reliable stream of unearned income through real estate investments, but I’m new to the field and looking for guidance.I have around $35,000 saved (excluding stock investments) and would love to connect with someone who can help me navigate this world.

Hopefully it's helpful for others on this forum. 

Purchase price: $67,000I bought this company from MidSouth Home Buyers.

We also would like to see if we can find an awesome agent to help us with this out of state investing journey.

Hey Joel, did you have any luck with this?  

Am I being dumb by NOT waiting, because it’s unlikely - I assume - my next deal will be as profitable (I got very lucky on this one!)

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

I recommend as a first step in your education in this new type of investing - join a Community that is specific to syndication investors.
