If you notice my posting history I am investigating purchasing my first condo in the next few months and am investigating some potential scenarios.I am looking into living in the unit for a little over 1 year and putting it up for rent either with HCV/Section 8 or finding a tenant through my brokerage(L&F) or other means. 

CFG pays over 5% along with a lot of brokerages these days.

All  real estate activities fall somewhere on the spectrum, with say owning a real estate brokerage at the extreme ACTIVE BUSINESS line and investing in a REIT index fund on the PASSIVE INVESTMENT line.  

I am also an investor.I believe it is most important to first narrow down a market in which you want to invest and then find a broker/agent who is knowledgable with rentals in that area. 

So if I liquidate money from my business credit cards and open a forex brokerage account and pay for a trading bot, is the money i use to pay back the credit cards and trading bot taxable?

Have a real estate brokerage company on the side if you ever need any assistance with MLS or buying/selling. 

@Tabitha KixSSBA has a decent amount of properties, but they are just ONE Brokerage Company among approximately a dozen that specialize in Storage.

I like land locked areas and urban markets as do most firms. look at where banks buy buildings. mostly 20 story buildings in downtown markets for a reason. asset protection and preservation so we try to do it as close as possible. there are lenders in columbus that do 100% hard money financing for renovation loans that based on experience make concessions to experience operators. we are vertically integrated though for design, build, entitlement, leasing, and brokerage so there isn't much missing. licensed general contractor.
