What is your real concern? 

Books like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller is great.

Hello allVery excited to get to be a part of this community and connect with you all.I am an up and coming real estate investor.

Quote from @Aldo Valeriani: Hello everyone,I’m relatively new to real estate investing, and this is my second fix-and-flip property.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

If investing in real estate was easy, everyone would have passive income.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

Second, real estate investments generate a return in one of two ways - Cash flow and appreciation.If cash-flow is negative, is the appreciation making up for it?

Do you have other ways to decrease your expenses or increase your income aside from real estate?
