I'm Katie from Spring, TX, passionate about real estate investing.

Real Estate investing and management of all my properties is all I do.

Having been in many aspects of real estate throughout my career my favorites are ground up construction and note investing. right now note investing takes the cake as it can be done in any environment whereas ground up right now is very challenging. 

Example: claiming tax benefits from the STR loophole or from the Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) - which, by the way, are two completely separate things.

Those are the real investment properties in Columbus.
