I am just starting out as a real estate investor in Colorado, I've been focusing on the educating myself currently and it dawned on me that taking some real-estate courses and possibly getting my license may benefit me and if anything give me access to MLS postings and just more knowledge and understanding of real-estate.

When we get those that simply make plugs for thier system or arrangement, state over and over thier implied expertise, contrary to the purpose of the forums, working them for an immdeiate benefit, well, I don't care for that.

It can be a HUGE benefit at lower incomes.

Ideally, we (my hubby and I ) would find a smaller place for them near us that we buy as an investment, they rehab their house and then rent IT out for cashflow for themselves and 1) they've downsized, which is a big part of what they want, 2) we're in proximity to help them and 3) they are using their equity for fun stuff they want to do and also getting tax benefits again by carrying a mortgage that will be more than paid by a tenant.Thanks for all the advice and please keep it coming.

Biggest benefit you have though is that you're in TX which means it takes no time at all for an eviction so worse comes to worse at least it won't be too hard to take possession.P.S.

If so, the depreciation and interest would be added back and it should look good.Again, if it's not the borrower and you personally are the borrower then only the distributions would benefit you and conversely the contributions would penalize you.Finally, to complicate things in-case you weren't already confused if you are the 100% owner of the S-Corp the underwriter would run a "Global Cash Flow Analysis" which would combine the entities.

I wasn't aware the benefits of a Pro subscription...

I think having a spouse who is an agent will be a huge benefit to you as you get into real estate investing.

You're going to deal with turnover costs of getting the current tenant with pets place in rent-ready condition by moving her to the new place, so this clearly needs to benefit you before you agree for her to move into larger place.

Can you show me the benefits of such?
