I have been fortunate over the years to get passive income from having a rental townhouse/condo/duplex on the side. 

Since this isn't a financial gain for them (they already have the sale completed, so to speak), it's just paper pushing and not worth their time.

This should save me money on my own future deals, while also helping me gain credibility within the industry and my local area as a serious real estate investor and deal maker.As for my professional background, I have been working as a freelance social media marketing strategist for 7+ years helping B2B companies generate and nurture high-quality leads on LinkedIn.

Separate property includes property you owned before you were married, property you inherited, income and gains from separate property and damage awards from a lawsuit.

Steve, you may be better off investing as a passive JV partner with someone who has experience in the NPN space than into a fund. 

I can help you gain access to multiple off-market properties a month in Tampa Bay.. along with assist in rehab estimates, competitive market analysis, etc.

Sounds like you have the wrong passive investors lined up.

I would like to continue to invest in rental properties for a long period of time and buying a turnkey property wouldn't allow me to gain experience as far as owning and managing rental properties.

Hello Fellow BP'ersI am looking to gain some info and possibly some results.I found a property that was vacant for a bit of time and the owners decided to fix it up to sell.

Can anyone shed some light on this topic so next year banks will see a big enough gain to lend without me breaking my savings and having to pay a bunch of income taxes.
