Was very helpful and gained insight into some new ideas. 

The idea behind this training is convincing a realtor to grant you access to the MLS, I don't believe this is as easy as one may think.

It’s sounds like you have limited capital at $10,000 but may have the time/energy to put a deal together? 

Their expertise has value, they now have good skin in the game, and they will/should agree to share their thought process when they say "that's a good idea" or "that's a stupid idea." 

The idea of a discussion forum should be open and honest discussion.

The idea that you can build wealth without putting any money into it is a recipe for disaster and the sales pitch of gurus trying to steal your money.

Although I do not necessarily want to do large developments, I am keen on the idea of buying acreage (maybe 10-50) and building single family homes in higher demand areas.

I understand there are deduction limits, does this apply to this "STR loophole" as well?

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed.

Thank you, AlexSounds like a good idea and good long term investment.
