I recommend finding a great local lender and building a relationship with them, then getting your info directly from them rather than articles and videos.  

With careful planning and prudent management, you can achieve your investment goals and build significant wealth through real estate.Best of luck, and keep us updated on your journey!

I'm trying to build my team while i study more into REI. 

This means a 1 BR and a 3 BR unit instead of two 2 BR units.

My W2 income is >$550k/year, if I build an RV/Boat storage facility, will my storage business expenses/losses be able to reduce my W2 taxable income? 

I lived in an owner-occupied building with 2 total units. 

I was thinking about driving for dollars to build a list of at least 3,000 properties.

The contact told me we should separate the 1099 income from s corp entity, that would already save us money.we should also give a percentage of our s corp as shares to our two daughters, that would also save us taxes.I also want to get into real estate investment to build passive income.  

Not sure if higher purchase prices/rates have created this boom or if it's that all the new supply of rentals in Chicago is aimed at top end luxury *$3000 1br type builds etc. but rents have shot up on the north side.

We're looking to connect and build our network/new friends.
