Hello there everyone in biggerpockets,Now lets see I need a little advice on what I should do over the next few weeks about a current situation that was brought to my attention!

If I bought a good deal for the above stated purpose and realized I could dump it for a small/decent gain, then i would.

Is their some helpful terms to mention that get their attention?

if you're looking to buy your first home - you might consider buying LOW, live in it, fix it up and then sell after 2 years, cap gains free up to 250k on any gain.

If you have too much income to take that loss right away, you need to carry it forward each year until you sell, and then you can take it.When you sell, your gain will be the sales price less selling costs less your basis.

I have rehabbed several homes over the past 5 years while working in environmental engineering.I have gained considerable knowledge on REI and would now like to move from part time to a fulltime basis.

Save money for awhile.The easiest way you might start is trying to position yourself to buy a small SF house, live in it, make the improvements over time and in two years take the gain tax free.

Maybe you've spent $16,000 , maybe you've spent $20,000 , it doesn't matter, it's in the past, stop paying money, and start paying attention to this website.To invest in real estate, i don't think there's anything i'd spend money on for education at all.
