I enjoy real estate investing and agency waaay more than the monotony of the laboratory so I know where you are coming from. 

I was totally wrong I really enjoy it and wish I would have done it before.

Neither of us live there and I can’t buy him out right now.

Personally at our house I love it because my kids have their own codes so I can see when they come and go which is nice in this crazy world we live in.

I see a lot of investors remodeling and designing the home as if they were going to live in it and it's the biggest mistake.

., there is nothing wrong with beautifying war-zone areas but just know that you have to be aware of the element that you will be surrounded by, keep the candle burning bright because you may have to spend a couple nights in the property to keep it from being rampaged, i haven't step into this arena, i prefer to go where the houses are selling, in neighborhoods that i know i wouldn't be afraid to live, but to each his own, if you can get a line of credit opened and then from there look into getting a mentor or someone who has done this before if you want to build your portfolio, it wont be easy but nothing is life worth anything is, do you duty and due diliegence and you should be alright, let me know if i can help keep posting but most of all keep sharing

It depends on if you're an llc or not, it depends on what state you live in, it depends on if you're a single member llc or a multi member llc- ultimately the numbers flow on to your tax return- your 10:40.

We live in a great country where I can operate my business one way, you can operate yours a different way.

I think it is great that you have sold 20 houses last year but really, with that many houses that you sold, you should have more than 20k saved up right now unless you are living on that income.  

Just passed the 2 year mark of living in our current condo and about to move into the vacant unit of a 4 plex back in the state we grew up in.
