I’m getting ready to close on my first duplex within the next two weeks and very excited!

I did get my first guest, on AirBnb, who booked for 70 nights.

If the first is no, it's a no.

I want to get in to real estate investing and this would be my first time.

I just acquired it and would like to report this property on Schedule C to deduct the loss of first year operations and expenses against my other Sch C business(es) and my husband's W2.

Also, equity in general (meaning high net worth individuals/families, hedge funds, institutional) are only going to back  experienced developers when it comes to an asset class as niche as data centers, especially since there are so many things that can go wrong: what if that submarket doesn't have a need for that use by the time you are entitled? 

First, many syndicators have had to pause distributions on otherwise good assets because they planned a 5yr hold.  

Most people who have funds to lend also have considerably more than they will disclose when they do their first deal with you.

I was very analysis paralysis on my first deal so I know the feeling. 

Hi all, I am currently in the process of closing on my first rental property.
