I hear of all these great profits that are being made investing in real estate that has a major “business” component, like small assisted living properties; rooming houses; sober living arrangements, etc.  

I decided to change career after having worked with films for more than a decade - and I have always had an interest in real estate.

I've been seeing the Buy Box Cartel on Tiktok and Youtube and was interested in Real Estate Wholesale, I'm not sure where to start on how to begin, does anyone have tips?

My assumptions based off research is I will be able to deduct 1/2 of all allowable expenses based off the ADU square footage (My understanding of that list below)  1/2 Mortgage Interest (Not principle) 1/2 Utilities 1/2 Property Taxes 1/2 Insurance (assuming I don't have separate ADU insurance)  1/2 general house maintenance (depending on the issue and if it's related to the ADU)  1/2 Depreciation (Home value, not land divided by 27.5)  KEY QUESTION: If my mortgage (PITI) is $5400, and all of those ADU deductions equal $3800 monthly, and my ADU income is $1800 monthly, am I allowed to pay the difference in "deductions" from my real estate business income? 

I am currently buying in SW Virginia, 5+ acres, with recreation, commercial, and development potential.

I work for an STR-only real estate agency, and we have agents in 20 STR-friendly markets who know this field inside-out. 

However Property tax's some of the lowest in the coutnry and property maintenance same thing if you buy a stucco home with a tile roof.No real major weather threats like many markets  IE hail storms wind storms etc.. can get windy but thats common.. 

In my experience trying to raise capital from people within the real estate community doesn't seem to be the best method because most people in real estate are more interested in building their own businesses, rather than investing in someone elses (especially when considering how much money it takes to invest in syndications).

Almost every problem you can think of happened.....So there I was, a seasoned real estate amateur. 

Most importantly, we view this as a strategic move to grow our real estate portfolio.
