The down payment is equivalent to a full price home in your market.

Seems like everyone here also like real estate, so I figured I'd ask for some tips.A little background - I work full time in tech field, but I ALWAYS had a passion for investments.

In our leases, the tenant is responsible for the full amount of the lease, regardless of whether they want to live there or not. 

Will that full 20k balance be due the following month like a credit card? 

On today’s show, Cory shares his personal strategies for keeping his pipeline full of great deals, what techniques he uses to make a minimum of $100k on each deal, how he partners with new investors to make everyone money, and his brilliant tips for building relationships with those most likely to build his business.

I was wondering if it was wise to take advantage of this program or collect my full paycheck without depositing money into the IRA to save up money for my first deal.

When I talked to my accountant, she discussed putting my portfolio under an LLC umbrella so I can take full advantage of the tax breaks and depreciation.

I do this full time now.Maybe we can give each-other tips to get into each-others market.

I assume you can still take the full interest expense as a deduction to your income, so effectively you're saving money by not paying taxes (you're not collecting rent for yourself, but you are getting tax deductions for it!)

Rent increases are a tool, if people are stable and provide benefits (like keeping an eye on the property) then maybe they get a slightly better deal, if I want them out they get the full increases as I am happy if they stay and pay and happy if they leave.I agree with @Corby Goade, do not be the landlord, be a employee of your own management company so you can be the middle person and not get all the stories and push back.
