Unfortunately real estate alone doesn't offer a ton of opportunities either in a traditional planning sense (i.e. not talking about 1031s, property managment companies, etc.)With active trades or businesses many times we can advocate for large retirement contributions into 401ks or SEPs which can save a bunch in taxes.

I will give it a shot and see what kind of activity I get after a month or so. 

Do property taxes automatically get re-assessed after you buy a property based on the purchase price you pay?

After five years of active duty I deiced a change of scenery was a good idea, which lead me to Cape Cod.My goals in real estate are buy and hold rental properties, mainly multifamily.

High risk involves things like replacing windows and scraping activities and have to be done by a licensed deleading contractor. 

I would love to get an attorney's assessment of the "co-mingling" of you personally and the LLC in this type of transaction

I also found an article noting some of the newer activities to enjoy near the area, such as a new casino, breweries, hiking and camping, and more with only about a 2 hour drive from NYC. 

From what I hear from active participants (and read) for those doing deals in the DFW metro region, it is hard, but not impossible.

Or I'm open to talking with other investors looking to raise capital for active deals. 

I'm also beginning to take a lot of notes on building systems for each stage of process - selecting/assessing, financing, fixing/renovating, managing, etc.
