That cost us 3k to fix Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Imagine making millions of dollars over the course of your career and then having to pay 30-50% every year to uncle sam instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they just buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

Use Real Estate By the Numbers as your guide, make sure it tracks the loan pay down and depreciation and have all of those numbers pour into a Schedule E.

I got into real estate through an organic relationship, nor would I be where I'm at today if it wasn't for those relationships. 

I frequently hear that someone purchased a new property because their real estate agent told them they could get X amount for rent, when in fact, the market comps don't support that amount.

There are several "real estate programs" out of their that the FTC made return millions to people. 

@Joel Bongco how do you go about setting it up for real estate investors?

My name is Stephen, and I'm going into my 1st real estate deal.

I'm almost positive I've seen Memphis real estate agents post on the forums.
