@Eduardo Sandoval Ramirez - Absolutely, you are just trading paper for a profit.

I first want to emphasize to real estate investors, the difference between the tax treatment of rental income derived from an active trade or business compared to investments.

We rebuilt this property from the cinder blocks What was the outcome?

My opinion, a rate a buy down isn't usually worth the trade offs vs keeping the cash in hand.

You won't be an expert in all of the trades. 

What was the outcome?

I joined Bigger Pockets in the hopes to connect with like minded individuals who would like to mentor and or just overall help one another so that everyone can be confident and achieve the best possible outcome as we embark on this Journey of investing. 

Replaced the carpet with hardwood floors & new trim, painted all the walls, and completely renovated the bathroom What was the outcome?

Working with Ron Rowan, we achieved a rewarding outcome on this well-planned investment.

I got a 2013 Toyota Corolla for $17k, so unfortunately, even if I trade it in I still have about $6-9k in negative equity on the car that I’ll still owe.
