Brand new real estate investor.

My career has been centered around helping businesses scale through strategic sales initiatives, but I’m now channeling that same drive into real estate investing to build long-term wealth.My wife and I are in our early 40s, both work full-time, and are raising four amazing kids.

Real Estate has always been my passion.

Hey bigger pockets, my name is Jonathan and I am looking to connect with real estate investors not just in California but all across the U.S.

I'm excited about the potential of owning property outside the states, but don't know some of things I should consider versus owning real estate domestically. 

I’ve been working with real estate financials for a while, and I keep seeing one mistake that costs investors thousands: poor bookkeeping leading to missed tax deductions.🚨 Common issues I see:❌ Not properly tracking repairs vs. capital improvements❌ Missing out on cost segregation & depreciation write-offs❌ Scrambling at tax time instead of planning proactivelyI’d love to hear from the group—what’s been your biggest tax headache as an investor?

Let me be clear - I do not condemn Trump's policies or necessarily know whether they will be positive in the long-term future or not for real estate investors. 

There are no upfront costs so why not establish a relationship with someone who actively represents real estate investors and move forward with vetting your ideas.Best.

So loan it is.A few thoughts/questions on my mind that I hope to learn as I continue my real estate journey:1.

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.
