Working on this everyday. 

@Devin JamesNothing in life is typically handed to you and nothing is typically get rich quickThe most successful people I know show up everyday and grind it out- they don’t let a failure destroy them - they get up and keep going.If you also read all the great business books etc they all say the same thing - be humble, be consistent and have a plan.

I'm not from your state - but in Florida your taxable basis is established by your purchase price at the time of the sale.  

Consider CCA as "Cleveland" and RITA as many other parts of the state if it helps.Look up where a specific address falls under here: https://tax.ohio.gov/help-center/the-finder/the-finder (use the municipal tax button)This is something I help my clients through all the time as it really is a case-by-case basis in many ways.

Sure it can be possible but it's not the basis of all real estate investing and the end all be all strategy.

Just make sure it's an actual team that meets every day and has team signage and not a downline group at a cloud brokerage that just wants to get you there and then never talks to you again.

You materially participate in an activity if you're involved in the operation of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.

We review their deals for our portfolio first and share the rest with clients on a case-by-case basis. 

Plus I need something to do everyday :)  so doing deals is my thing.

I've had a lender do this before to a borrower of mine and it just becomes a headache getting their calls and emails everyday for weeks.
