We have such a healthy market normally and thats on top of the crazy influx of investors this year.I started with MLS, picked up 2 off auction, and now will probably be spending most of my time with off-market deals.My future goals are to connect with a multifamily broker to acquire some 2-4 unit rehabs. 

Normally, trader income is not earned income.

which mind you is not as luxurious as it sounds, as where there is poverty, there is always the darkest sides of humanity, and I only know this because I came from poverty... yes, here in Hawaii... the side they don't share with you on TV and magazines... its tough here for locals sometimes, especially in markets like Hawaii where affordable housing is limited, and the normal market rents are just way too high for single income families.

History has taught us that 3-6 months of inventory will result in normal sales, less than 3 months of inventory will result in quick sales, and more than 6 months of inventory will result in slow sales.Months of inventory is calculated by taking the current number of listings divided by the number of sales in the previous twelve months.An example would be:There are currently 24 homes listed in Anytown, USA in the $250,000 - $300,000 price point. 

So in the past we would just confirm a normal closing transaction with Title, and if so, we were good to go.

@Felix StoneTraveling to scope out new markets is normally not a currently deductible expense.Can you elaborate why your accountant missed the expensesDid you list the expense and he didn't pick them up on the return?

Is this simply a normal cycle that happens after summer is over, or is there something more here?

Either is good with me...realtor costs you money is only difference"**sends me a screenshot of his FICO score"Shows I've only been late 3 payments in 7 years and I'm sure those are bs cause I don't make late payments""Just trying to make you feel comfortable that I'm serious and good choice if we like it" My question - is this normal?

What type of work do you normally do?

It's probably a 1 hour 45 min commute each way when things get back to normal post-covid.
