That's where real money and wealth are made! 

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

I'm excited to join this community as I begin my real estate journey.

It sounds like you’re aiming to offset your W-2 income with potential real estate losses, which can be tricky if you don’t qualify as a Real Estate Professional.To qualify as a Real Estate Professional, you or your spouse need to spend more than 50% of your working hours and at least 750 hours annually on real estate activities.

Very new to real estate investing.

I guess it is, but if YouTube decides to demonetize you, you're done.I would consider it as a compliment to what other real estate strategies I am doing.Gino

I’m a firm believer in that before one masters any creative or wealth building strategy in real estate investing, they need to master three things; (1) real estate PRINCIPLES, (2) real estate LAW, (3) real estate FINANCE.  

fantastic way to look at things, I always talk about how small the real estate world really is, and this is another great example.

I'm an agent in Oklahoma and we have a Seller Finance addendum written up by the state real estate commission that functions just like an FHA or Conventional Loan addendum to a sales contract.This is, of course, standard when you purchase a home with bank financing.

I have read through Michael Blank's Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing and am ready to go on to next steps.
