All has been fun and rewarding on different levels but as the years have progressed, the equation of trading long hours for additional income has forced me to re-evaluate my investing strategies, principles and goals.I arrived at Bigger Pockets after kick-starting a personal goal to look at passive income investments streams a few months ago.  

The code here requires that we keep the Pex to hot water tanks at least 18 inches from the tank hookups & exhaust.But like copper it will not take kindly to a misplaced drywall screw without consequences :)

I haven't seen many lately....and the ones that I have are not trading at a discount relative to deferred maintenance.  

I'm a 11 year commercial real estate broker by trade and my practice focuses on Office and Industrial property primarily in Orange County & Los Angeles County.

Jk but ive heard something about if your house has drugs or maybe its just if there was a drugdealer in it, there are severe consequences to the landlord.  

OK - so, you mean to tell me that you would trade $30,000 in exchange for $5,000 which may happen (of the roof doesn't leak, units don't get trashed, tenants don't skip in the night, main water line doesn't freeze, bed-bugs aren't brought in, and a million other things..)  

I am a financial analyst by trade and am looking to kick start my RE Investing by perhaps doing something on a part-time basis without much capital.

So, looking for every expenses and possible write off can have long term consequences, might be better paying 5% or so more in taxes.

has anyone purchased a season corporation and/or a business trade line?

@Matt Fisher A self directed IRA or 401k may invest in real estate in many ways, so long as the transaction is completed at arm's length.Clients of ours have held rental properties, flipped properties, engaged in joint ventures with other investors to hold or develop property, invested in tax liens, and operated as private lenders to other investors.There is a distinction, however, between passive income such as interest on a note or tax certificate, or rents from real property, and "engaging in a trade or business" such as being a wholesaler, developer or re-developer (flipper) of property.
