I am getting into Real Estate investing but am a rookie looking to connect, learn, network, and pick up any lessons along the way. 

Hello, my is Jonathan Jackson I am new to the real estate investing world.

Hey guys, what are you thought on the Birmingham real estate market?

If you spend the entire $300k restoring the property, then here is the end result:- deductible casualty loss of $50k- no current tax- the restored property has $0 basis and cannot be depreciated- when it is later sold, the entire sale price is taxableMechanics and reporting are tricky, and I would not recommend to DIY it, especially since my scenario is over-simplified, and your real scenario is likely to involve more gotchas.Thanks so much. 

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

I am new to the world of real estate investing and want to one day own properties and rent units out.

Knowing your current state comps is a great place to start and a real estate agent can help pull those figures quickly. 

Hope everyone's Sunday is going well and you're enjoying some relaxation time.I'm new to real estate investing and I'm really excited to get started with wholesaling before eventually moving into BRRRR investing.

I’m a former/ sometimes still carpenter and a real estate agent, have done hundreds of transactions.

Go to a couple of real estate investor meetups and make connections.
