If you haven't already, I'd recommend writing down your RE investing goals, making them specific enough to take action, and then go for it!

It's good to note that mortgage insurance is no longer a write off and was never as such for people who made more than 110k AGI anyway (it phased out from 100k to 110k AGI).When considering FHA you should consider that huge upfront MI and the monthly paid annual MI factor of .80-.85% as well.

They seem to be able to write everything that I send over to them.

Tenant wants the old check back, instead of letting me just write void on it.

I have a wealth of knowledge on birddogging which I believe is an excellent way to get started escpecially if you have no real estate knowledge, or your in an unfamiliar market.To help Newbies, I am currently writing a book on birddogging and I want to make sure I provide high quality information.

Things I learned:If its not in writing, it never happened (seriously) If you need tenants out, do not wait start the (PROPER) eviction proceedingsIf you have a short sale, be aware of the timing and (Re-appraisals) If the town asks for it (provide it) believe it or not the townships, city and local ordinances are on your side!!

Get it this year and have depreciation to write off for 2015!

But I am in no hurry to give up the tax benefits of buy-and-hold real estate: The ability to write off the interest, insurance, property taxes, 1/27.5 of the property, 1/5 of the appliances and accessories, and 1/15 of the landscaping, every year.

The percentages will change as I move the investment into the ROTH4)Direct the IRA custodian to invest the SDIRA and ROTH SDIRA into the LLC     i)Custodian of both SDIRAs will write checks to the LLC     ii)I will take the checks and deposit into a checking account in the name of the LLC5)Identify/purchase a piece of property by writing a check from the LLC bank account     i)Property will be owned by, and titled in the name of, the LLC     ii)At this point, I cannot personally benefit from the property because it is owned by an entity that is funded by my SDIRAs.

But as it has been recommended, just start writing and eventually the content will came out.
