Our boys are 6-9 YO so we are late starters but we cherish it more I think. 

Any money you borrowed to finance the property is not considered in the calculation. ( although interest for the money is included in you cost basis) Now you can save some money on social security taxes by doing the renovation in an “S” corp. talk you your accountant for details. 

@Jennifer Cooper i run a social media marketing agency and a tip i would give for organic social is consistency.

You need a social security number for starters.

It would help if they share your interest in real estate.Perhaps your current social circle or support groups can help you find the person you need in your life to help you do what you seek to do and fulfill your potential, perhaps even a local Real Estate Investor Association (REIA).I'm sure there are others in the real estate investing world with similar challenges.

If it can be mastered, I will master it.In addition, I clean up well, have a brain, have social skills, and generally make those in my company look good.

I am interested in improving my quality of life (socially) by moving to Sacramento.

Due diligence schemes like these have been going on forever its not a new concept the new concept is how avaliable their dupes are to them now using social media IE linkedin Facebook  and BPon another real estate investor website call connected investor.. they actually charge and they do due diligence before they allow you to post.. which they still won't get all the scammers out of the game but it will mitigate it.. 

This is business, not social hour.  

Recently, I've been helping real estate investors with their online marketing, including branding, website design/development, SEO, Social Media, Adwords and more.
