Welcome to BP Ty,These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

Some people recommend filing in WY, other recommend land trusts, etc. 

Now, not so much...As much as people complain about the cost of renting...they should try being a west coast landlord.

I work 80 a week in real estate which far exceeds most people and you want to claim that you work in real estate 16-24 hr a day???

I was considering going into real estate investing because I would like to cut out the middle man ( the broker that is) lol and have some diversity with my license, not just helping people buy and sell houses.

To date I've been able to account for smaller expenses by tying them to a specific property if for example I'd purchased an inexpensive hand tool for a specific project on that property but I don't think that would be the proper way to account for more expensive tools that I bought for the overall business like a new lawn mower or something. 

I’m a builder and investor, I tell a lot of people the best way to invest into real estate at this time is to build it.

I had the same apprehension about section 8 that many people might have but my experience has been the opposite of any negative stereotypes. 

We're still looking for people to help out on the blog.

People think that they can cash in by suing them thar rich property owners.Regarding the amounts to insure, we just increased our rebuild value to $350 a square foot.
