Given the fact that Roth money was invested post tax annually when I qualified, would I need to pay taxes on this money upon the sale of the property, or would this money grow tax free as would all other gains normally made in the Roth outside of a real estate transaction?

If we get something that cashflows now, we could have some solid gains from appreciation down the road.

My goals are to gain enough passive income through rental properties to supplement my current income and make me completely financially independent.

Most first-time real investors can’t come up with the resources required to acquire a Manhattan high rise, for example, so they are left with two options: Give up on the idea of investing in CRE altogether or gain exposure to this asset class through an intermediary, like a publicly-traded REIT.

For homeowners in hot markets like Silicon Valley who bought either long ago or in 2009-10, they may be sitting on paper gains that can be in the millions of dollars.

I owned two 4 plexes there and in about a year we gained 6 figures in appreciation (some was forced through reposition) and cashed out. 

As a newcomer to the area AND the field, I'm hoping to meet a few investors and professionals in the area to gain some familiarity with the territory.Are there any Memphis meet-ups?

I love to talk about finances and to help others gain more understanding.

Or, if I receive the interest after one year, it is considered long term capital gains.

I realized two things amongst many others is as follows for future transactions and would like to gain some advice on the same from you all experienced people :1.
