When helping my clients with their tax returns and bookkeeping, especially when they have real estate properties, we usually obtain the land value directly from the county assessor’s website.

Hi all,I’m just getting my feet wet with Real Estate investing and currently taking online courses on the investment process, principles of calculating returns, performing market analysis, analyzing cash flows and the different types of investment opportunities.

Good morning,Investing in real estate most recently has really caught my attention… as many others’ on here I am sure. 

I started learning real estate investment to quit my full-time job and spend more time with my 3-year-old daughter as well as build cashflow to pay for her future private school tuition.

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment. 

Trying to "time" the real estate market is like trying to time the stock market.

@Mirlyne AndreRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Purchase price: $210,000 Getting paid to buy prime real estate is about as sweet of a deal as it gets for a buy and hold investor.

Another great success with our trusted partner!

I'm a developer, hold my GC license and real estate license and we're building duplexes near downtown right now.
