They're basically saying, we are liars and can't be trusted....and other people should know we are liars and cant be trusted.

The location definitely was obvious, at least to me.I’ve hosted monthly meetups in my area of Mesa, Arizona for around 7 years now and the majority of people that attended came from BiggerPockets.

I know Branson is known for golf and Table Rock Lake and people tend to snatch up those condos that come with the amenities but I feel like rentals would be limited to good weather only..there has to be a solid percentage of tourists that enjoy the shows and being in town as much as there are people that enjoy the lake and golfing.  

@Jagan ReddyI'm not a CPA or a cost segregation specialist, but I do know that if you are not designated as a  real estate professional, then you can only offset passive income by your passive losses.Qualifying as a real estate professional is more challenging than most people want you to think.

My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

With that, I want to educate and help people find the importance of sizeable assets!

If you demolished inside and they see it you cannot get a standard HELOC you will need to go hard money as most lenders are going to tell you that any worker who stepped on the site can lien the property and HELOC's do not use a new full title report, they rely on the title report of the last sale (again like I started with if people DIY record after closing it's a problem). 

Lakewood is a very sought after rental area with high rental rates, and a lot of people will pay high rents to live in close proximity to Lakewood, and downtown Cleveland, which this area is right in the middle of those two, as well as right by lake erie.
