I know that a lot of people specialize in certain arenas of investing and business but diversifying is the key to added protection and profit.

It has been such a remarkable resource for me and I'm really looking forward to adding my 2 cents and contributing when I can!

I purchased a property cash then did a delayed financing loan shortly after. https://www.therealestatecpa.com/2016/05/22/ultimate-guide-irs-schedule-e/ Reading through @Brandon Hall's article and the IRS publications it seems some items go to adding to the property cost basis and get depreciated, others apply to loan cost basis and are amortized over the duration of the loan.

Hope this helps some new or intermediate real estate investors understand how to find apartment opportunities.Just got back from looking at another 100 plus apartment unit to ad to my 1000 apartment in a year goal.Here is a SNEAK PEAK of what my experience was like.On this deal, I want to tell you the tale of two apartments, because on this deal, if you understand the dynamic of these two apartments, you understand how to create $4.2 million dollars in 2 years or less.In the video, you will see footage of the first apartment, and the last few video clips are from the second apartment.So the apartment I visited is what you call a VALUE AD.

Please allow me to clarify why we like to meet our investors face to face prior to adding them to our distribution list.I agree with you in the fact that "explain how our contracts work" was a poor choice of words because in no way are we trying to offer you any sort of legal advice or council.

For those of you that are reading this and not posting......maybe a question to a post would be a great alternative to adding your 2 cents.

Don't get carried away with all the justifications investors try to claim as to adding value simply because they were involved, value is to the property, not to those involved.

Some other popular markets are Dayton, Toledo & Cleveland in case you want to ad them to your list of markets to research.

My name is Sean and have been a member for a couple months and just go around to adding  a picture so I thought now would be a good time for my first post.My wife and I live in Hagerstown, MD and we have 3 boys and 1 more to be born in mid-late August.
