Those that teach systems, plans, programs and how to make your money in a week are selling a service and or a product, they are NOT educators, but they play like they are.

I assume there are taxes that come into play upfront with the sale, also?

Was Just playing around on your site.

Do what you know and enjoy, getting creative doesn't necessarily make you more money, it likely means you are taking on more risk and playing a game you aren't prepared for.Everyone's goal in real estate is to create a machine, where in, you stick $1 in the front and it spits $1.20 out the back. 

I'm not a CPA nor do I play one on TV but if I had to guess, with no LLC, and $50k W2 job, all $40k would be subject to SE.

Most aren't selling because they see a bubble, and want to lock in their profits before said bubble pops.I highly suggest you use the BP Rental Calculator, and start playing with the numbers and see what numbers work for you.

You can also find someone to role play with.

Before using the shot I have now, I used a more informal one of me shaking hands with a good-old-boy as an experiment on this site to see how well it played.  

The latter could play out at any moment.The first 10 years of a 30 year mortgage is basically paying interest.  

You get to use the tax money as long as you play by the rules.You're searching for a property that you can mix the use on - part primary residence and part investment.
