Since then I've been listening to most of the podcasts and reading a lot of articles in my desire to learn about investment properties business.

@Bruce Lustigson if you read @Mark Ferguson blog he has been using a local portfolio lender in Colorado that may be of use to you.

Thank you for your good article.

I'd like to start out by wholesaling because I heard it was the easiest way but I've come to some problems. while reading on here I came across an article talking about how investors have been getting charged penalties for practicing "unlicensed activity".

I have found on these blogs that it is around 30 days?

I also found many articles about landlords shooting or stabbing tenants.The valuable lesson learned on BP today is to use the legal system and don't try to collect rent in person.

Had a question wanted to bring it straight to the blog.....How can a real estate agent be beneficial to a wholesaler?

I have learned a lot from the articles (including comments) and podcasts so far. 

Hello - this may be a newbie question but from reading the various articles on BP and Investopedia, my understanding is that Net Operating Income (NOI) is defined as operating expenses required to run and maintain the property but excludes Loan Payments, Capital Expenditures, Depreciation, and Amortization.The IRS has recently raised the Tangible Property Expensing threshold to $2,500 (from $500 previously) per item so if you took advantage of this change, wouldn't it decrease your NOI since you can expense smaller capital items as repairs & maintenance instead of capitalizing and then depreciating them over time?
