Question: Should I pursue my real estate license?

So my wife and I want to make the right call for our real estate attorney.

@Yi Chu,Another important factor you need to understand is that when an IRA is invested in leveraged real estate (most MF deals are), the portion of the income derived from the leveraged portion of the property will be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT), which can be offset by using depreciation and other deductions.

There are several different types of income in the US tax code.Two main types are “active income” and “passive income".Active income is money you earn from working, such as wages from a W-2 job or income from running a business.Passive income is money you earn from investments like real estate, stocks, or rental income from your RE portfolio where you earn $ without actively working.Normally, you can't use passive losses (like losses from real estate investments) to offset active income like your salary from a W-2 job.That is unless you are an RE Pro.The reality is, that Real Estate Pro status is just a filing status similar to filing married or jointly.And if you are a real estate professional you CAN use passive real estate losses to offset active income from other sources.To qualify as an RE Pro you must:1.

Supply & DemandUnlike financial markets, real estate prices and rents are driven by supply and demand.

At the early stages, the more control you have over your real estate, the better returns thus I recommend investing locally to make your dollar go that much farther and gain a good familarity with real estate before exploring out of state investing.

Equities, stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, silver and everything else is going to increase in nominal value but not necessarily in real value.
