After 45 + years investing in, purchasing and selling notes and real property; structuring “deals”, running investment funds and syndications, I have observed that many (most) investors both hesitate too long gathering too much information before making an offer AND do not do enough investigation, analysis and due diligence before they finalize a purchase.Seems like opposites, right?  

I’m a real estate agent based in South Carolina, where I specialize in off-market deals and work closely with investors.

Real estate makes us money several ways; cashflow is only one. 

Hi Kathryn,It sounds like you’re on an exciting journey with your real estate investments!

Best of luck on your real estate adventures.

I take a few real estate classes and pay memberships to a few real estate groups, can I write them off only if I have an LLC, or can I do it personally?

I'm so glad to have found this online community and resource to help me get started on my real estate rental investment.

@Aaron OrensteinYes, timing matters.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.
