What does he consider a substantial down payment and does he know that he has to pay capital gains on that down payment instead of just on the payments?

Quote from @Tamzen Tocher: Hello everyone,I’ve been interested in getting into real estate and doing lots of education and research.

And many investors, both local and remote, are finding properties with decent revenue returns and/or cash flow.

For example incase iIf you identify an asset in the market that already has a realtor representation on both the buyer and seller side, do you reserve the right to proceed with the deal independently, or do you have to bring in your realtor? 

Lov the thought process and that'll make you a very good investor!

If you want to manage STRs, start an STR management business and just do everything on the up and up.

I would reach out to any contact you have, such as realtors, property managers and ask for recommendations. 

It costs me $50/ PER MONTH and I can use it as a hotspot at no additional charge. 

@KJay BratcherMost of the online education and in-class education about the material is mindnumbing and you won't be using 95% of it in your day to day LOL!
