Just starting my journey into real estate investing and looking forward to meeting and catching up with like minded people.

This is not a "real estate rental income" activity as defined by the IRS, so whether you are a REP or not, you can take this benefit.All of this is separate from a QOZ Investment, which would require you to first recognize a capital gain from another source (say a stock sale), invest that gain, hold it in a Corporate or Partnership structure (likely partnership), meeting the substantial improvement qualifications of being a QOZB, and then yes, you get to avoid the depreciation recapture at the end of the 10 year hold period, at least for the portion of your investment attributable to the original gain that you invested in the project. 

Sometimes, the unsophisticated purchasers have to be taken by the hand by the listing agent and sometimes dragged across the finish line with a lot of services involved and typically a lower commission than a multifamily investment.

The area by the race track has definitely seen some rapid growth since NASCAR has invested hundreds of millions into that area.

I do have a handful of clients that have ended up using multiple CPAs just due to who their partners were on different deals, and even in those cases they almost always end up consolidating to a single CPA - taxes are enough of a headache without dealing with 3 different professionals who each only have a slice of the whole picture.If you are going to regularly be investing across the country, it doesn't hurt to work with a firm that has State and Local Tax (often referred to as "SALT") internal resources, though typically this does come from larger firms with larger fees. 

How bad an idea is building for your first investment property? 

If you can't control the little you make now, you won't control your investments.

Hello everyone,I am a newbie to the whole real estate investment world and am looking to move on my first property if possible.

I've accumulated a bit of capital and I'm trying to figure out the best way to appreciate on it; and real estate always struck me as a good option—a true classic.I'm from Europe, but I don't really feel location tied in terms of investments—I wonder actually, do many of you do business internationally?

From years of investing in Florida I have often heard that they are very difficult to work with when you need to enter a claim.
