@Andrew Slezak Opportunity Zone (OZ) investing allows you to defer capital gains taxes (e.g., from crypto) by reinvesting the gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) within 180 days.

You get a deduction for the contribution, the gains grow tax-free and as long as you use the proceeds for health-related expenses the funds come out tax free as well. 

The only difference is the seller remains on title until we have enough equity to refinance or sell.3: Typically we don’t agree to balloons.

You typically want to include those utilities because if unpaid they become liens against your property.

Most of our Members are baffled, typically saying: "How could they allow one of THEIR Tenants to be even ONE month behind?"

That number seems high but the neighborhood was “hot” and houses sold really quickly.What I cared about most was completing my second deal to gain experience.

In that case, the GP, who was a cheating SOB, issued a K-1 allocating cap gains [§1231 gains] to my Client, who was a minority LP.  

You typically need up to two years of stable employment before a bank will loan to you.

Connecting with investors is a great move too; it’s one of the best ways to gain real-world knowledge and build a strong foundation for your journey.What kind of investing are you most interested in? 

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.
