You'll also hear people talk about cost segregation & depreciation, which are great, but not everyone is in a position where they can maximize the benefits of depreciation.Also bear in mind that it doesn't need to be either-or.

I've been interested in becoming a farmer for as long as I can remember, and as I've looked at the viability of getting into farming, I've seen how much debt people go into to purchase land and equipment, and how crippling that debt can be for both the farmer and their family.

Funny how some of the people with problems don't want to be transparent and open (sarcasm).

A lot of people don't even know some of the more creative properties you can buy with a VA loan (like mixed use or even a 6 unit apartment complex if you combine VA entitlement with another soldier).

no, but just understand that this is what's happening and that it's easier to push theory than to actually execute a strategy in real life and make it work. 

I want to go over all the info I have and see if people have suggestions on what else might be available or what I can do to make better decisions. 

From my earlier post, people told me the best way to learn is to find a mentor and do some deals with them.

Sometimes, starting out, I see people focusing on LLCs instead of deals, which just sounds like the case for you (but I'm just saying!).

Your asking for people to cough up a few million bucks so you would probably need to rely on your own network.  

Also, I understand there are certain states that might be best to avoid.
