Can any Ohio real estate agents that own personal rental property answer this question?

Are there any weekly/monthly real estate investment clubs in the DMV (DC/Maryland/VA) area that anyone could recommend?

The fact that you bought it with cash gives you a lot of flexibility, which is key in a market like Odessa where real estate values can sometimes be unpredictable.Let’s break it down:Refinance and Reinvest:The rental market is treating you well, and if you pull out equity with a loan, you'll still have that income stream.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I look forward to learning from you all as I strive to master this element of real estate.  

You get an estoppel from each tenant saying this is how much rent I’m paying, this is how big a security deposit I gave, here’s who pays for utilities, when my lease ends, etc etc. 

Imagine making millions of dollars throughout your career and then having to pay Uncle Sam 30-50% every year instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of the best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

i think the gift basket may be more beneficial to real estate agents to get referrals and possibly to get new tenants. i bet that was nice, i wouldn't forget that either!

Hey all, I'd love some insight into real numbers of what you all have seen/heard about renting to Dunkin.

My co-worker got me into the youtube real-estate rookie and now I'm here on bigger pockets learning more.
