I’m looking to start my real estate journey by house hacking a duplex and living there with my family while I renovate my primary residence.

I am pretty new in the world of real estate.

I keep hearing how real estate is the greatest tax haven. 

A good realtor that knows the market where the property is located, a good tax advisor that understands real estate and 1031 Exchanges, a good closing agent, and a good Qualified Intermediary that can walk you through the 1031 Exchange process.  

I am new to real estate investing, but are ready to dive in.

It should apply, as a veteran myself, I have a soft spot for other vets using their VA loan to get started in real estate (it is how I got started, and it is easily the greatest loan product available). 

My concern is obtaining a construction loan without a contractor's license. 

New to RE investing , can I claim taxes fees on RE mentor/coaching, including Real-Estate software system package as RE start up Business cost? 

Russell, the property owners terms of note secured by the real property, unless in foreclosure, have little to do with the tenants obligation. 

I'm a CT based real estate investor and own a property management company.
