UDFI typically arises when debt is used to acquire or improve income-producing property, and the proportion of income related to the debt can be subject to UBIT.

Too many investors focus their attention on how to get creative with their purchases and ignore the fundamentals of the actual real estate and the basis in which they are acquiring property.

ANYTIME you pay someone anything less than the market value of the goods you acquire you could say you are acting immorally.

I am looking to expand this portfolio but I am just getting started when it comes to acquiring new rentals.

2) What main skills or knowledge should I focus on acquiring right now that would be beneficial for my current and future real estate investments?

I just acquired a triplex in Arizona.

The other cities on the list we are either unfamiliar with or the cost to acquire is too high to make a BRRRR strategy work in our opinion.

Acquired the rest, admittingly quite reasonably during the great financial crisis, for cash. 12 years later my cash flow is over 6 figures per month.Remember, no matter how much investors promote leverage, interest is still a huge expense.

@Turo Tales I'm focused on acquiring more rentals and wholesaling/flipping.

Like @Michael Quarles and @Kristin Flores-Brockman are saying here.Occasionally there are investors who acquired an investment property with the intent to hold and put renters in, but find some unexpected negative catalysts that will impact their ability to rent it out.
