We have professional pics taken of our properties, throw a few on Craigslist along with key rental specs and details, and include a link to our Facebook page with many more photos and information. 

I'm looking for a true professional that I can rely on that is not trying to take advantage and would like to build a relationship.

Be sure to speak with experienced professional who can give you guidance.

I'm 26 and  my husband and I want to be involved in real estate investing SO SO BAD.We just opened a moped/powersports dealership together which was very difficult and draining on our finances and credit.

To put this as professionally as I can.... some trades are "more professional" as others.

The advantage is the professional touch to acquiring new tenants.

But when we turned on the water on the kitchen sink they had not hooked it up right, the pipe was loose and water got all over the floor and ran down into the basement through the drain lol. 

It makes sense that real estate income tax would only be Subject to SE tax if you were able to claim Real estate professional, one without the other generally isn't how the code is written.

One rents to a mother / daughter and the other to a young professional couple.

No credit is available, but yields are 10-14%.I'm curious about the general attitude towards these kinds of transaction from American investors and other real estate professionals.
