@Brad Kanouse Using Traditional IRA funds for an investment property typically incurs income tax and a 10% penalty if you’re under 59½, as investment properties don’t qualify for tax exemptions.

You have to learn what you are willing to accept as not perfect, but good enough. 

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

Income would be from hunting dues and timber harvesting, expense would be conservation management, taxes, and the mortgage.

I learned so much from the course and PCS, and I'm claiming all of my cost on my taxes.

I’d love to learn from all of you, connect with like-minded people, and eventually achieve financial freedom together! 

I believe in putting in the work—1,000 hours of research, testing, and learning—before offering advice, and I’m excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community to refine my approach.Here’s where my head is at: I’m considering strategies like short-term rentals (Airbnb) for higher cash flow, long-term rentals for steady income, or even creative options like house hacking or partnerships to stretch the funds further.

The most important thing for you to learn as a wholesaler is repair costs.

Between now and then, I am committed to learn and connect as much as possible!

Any tax pro who is familiar with REI will be able to help you.
