The gold mines are over in Leland and Jacksonville though.

So I do day trading at home - it uses to be an apartment but it was a good year and I bought a house outright.Can I deduct the space I utilize in my home as a business expense on next year's taxes?

I bought a home in San antonio for 125K and sold it for 180K in 2 years!   

Also you may wish to check out local investor groups such as Black Diamond REI in southern Mass and RIREIG in Rhode Island.Since you just bought your first property, I would recommend taking at least 6 months, 12 would be better, learning how to be a landlord of your first rental unit before acquiring another one.Learn about renting a unit out, tenant screening, collecting rent, repairs, capital improvements, handling moveouts, etc.

We bought a 4plex that was only about 12 years old and each unit was 3/2 and renting below market value. 3 of the units were also section 8 and I‘ve learned a lot about that as well.

I don't see why not but I have never bought a property from a trust.

I've bought several houses of my own in the past, but never invested.

Also I read all the HOA docs and the CC&R's before I bought so I knew exactly what I was getting into before hand, i.e.

So it shows that you never really know for sure what might be gold to someone else.
