If you intended to flip a property, but hold it for ten years, profits will still be subject to ordinary income rates and SE tax.

Pick our a standard Earnest Money or purchase contract... it will be fill in the blanks.2. fill in the blanks IE purchase price  who is buying who is selling and settlement date.3. get it signed and e mailed back by seller.. 4 walk the contract into a local title company and have them process it like any other transaction.pretty simple as you said.. or find a simplithetic realtor who will take 30 mintues with you.I don't know FLA RE law per se the disclosures are usually on the onus of the seller not the buyer so you probably have no issues.. but again a RE broker should be able to answer these questions in 10 mintues

I don't understand the need to convince the BP community or anyone else for that matter, that Detroit or SE Michigan is a good place to invest.

I'm looking for a Commercial RE Attorney in SE Michigan to review contracts for small apartments. 

South and SE are the lower priced homes, but also higher risk.

This post doesn’t pertain to real estate investing per-se, but I realize a lot of people here might have experienced similar situations.

Moving to SE CT next summer and I want to purchase my first investment property.

Not sure how it will work out  We have a mgt corp for our portfolio, but paying ourselves mgmt fees just turns passive income into ordinary and brings on SE taxes.   

To me being an agent for all these decades .. its a lifestyle choice .. its not a job per se. mainly the more successful you become as an agent the busier you get.. there are so many perks to being a successful high producing agent FAR in excess of just the commission income.
