Whether you’re keeping your day job and want passive income or you’ve decided to make this a full-time career, each investment property you own demands time, attention and a lot of practical know how to remain profitable.I have been a successful landlord for over a decade, but it took me several years and quite a few mistakes to learn how to make money with my residential rentals.

I'm basing this on the Wholesale Calculator as I used, practiced few scenarios to see the numbers.Hope this helps out!

Understands real estate well and runs his own practice so he knows what it's like to be a business owner trying to minimize taxes fully.

You'll have some catch up to do regarding learning best practices for landlording and the BP site has a wealth of information for you.

I would also welcome any best practice advice.  

I'm also looking to connect with fellow hopeful investors in the area and share ideas and learn best practices.  

I'd like to work with an agent through whom I could access the MLS to practice evaluating properties using the BRRRR calculator on BP.  

Again, this is under the assumption that people actually do this - it may be common practice within the industry, in which case it may be acceptable.  

I am an attorney in Illinois and my practice area is focused on real estate tax sale and tax deed issues.  

The practice of rating neighborhoods is called RED LINING and a licensed agent/broker is forbidden to do so.
