Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

Although the study may increase the gain, the gain may be taxed at a much lower rate making it a beneficial investment.If a property is purchased with the intention to flip or own for a short period of time (less than 3 years), a cost segregation study may not be significant.Overall, as long as you intend to hold the investment property for greater than a year, the benefits of a cost segregation study should be considered.

The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.

However, after accounting for long-term capital gains tax and other expenses, you would be left with $150k which is important to budget and account for.

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?

.- If you hold a rental until death, you can pass it on with a stepped-up cost basis, limiting captial gains if then sold (limited by inheritance tax limitations).Too many newbies on this site trying to replace their day job income via "passive" real estate investing w/o digging deep enough to understand how it really works.

Use 1031 Exchanges to Defer TaxesIf you’re selling a property, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into another property.

I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

Gaining knowledge about investor loans, like DSCR loans, can be particularly beneficial.

It might cause me financial harm as I have to sell more stocks and might pay short term capital gains vs long term capital gains.
