I am really interested in the potential that RE investment has to help provide an income for my family and help me slowly build a farming operation that is set up for long-term sustainability.I plan to use my RE license to raise capital and get access to potential rental properties.

When starting a business or owning multiple properties, it’s crucial to manage your cash flow effectively to ensure long-term stability and growth.

If you rebate this to the purchase, your broker should exclude the amounts from your 1099.The short answer for you is that if you don't need the cash, waive/rebate the commission to the purchase.

Hey @Faiyaz Hashmi & @Ali Ahmed - Here is our local Chicago meetup...we are discussing airbnb / short term rentals. 

Hello John, In short you want to value the business based on the EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization.

I recently closed on a contract on a half duplex in a solid appreciating market.

Anyway, Buyers in the contract for deed have been their 7 years.

@John Hidalgo We have a different area with huge summer rental potential so every rental is furnished and usually goes short term in the summer.

i bought a property last year to use as a Short Term rental in PCB. happy with my efforts this first year. i do not say as an Airbnb, as i got very few ABB rentals last year, mostly VRBO and direct booking.

I haven't started my investment journey yet, but I am interested in Fix & Flips and short-term rentals.
