Ooops Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

There are always opportunities in buying real estate, businesses, companies, etc., as long as you know (or think you know) what you are in for.

so you're recommending that my starting point should be finding a real estate agent, utilize theirbknowledge to learn about the process, and get referrals for good loan officers.

Having worked with 1,000's of investors to Broker the properties I sell in my local market, and having worked with dozens of Property Managers, Turnkey Providers, Agents, Property Management Software Companies, Lenders, Inspectors and various other investment real estate vendors to market their products and services on my show, the one thing that stood out to be was the CEO Zach's obsession with the biz.In real estate we've get a lot turnover, a lot of flameout.

Quote from @Timothy Villa: Hey Everyone, I am very to to real estate investing and trying to learn about many of the different strategies.

I am not from real estate background and have been referred to bigger pockets by friends.

Both Atlanta and Huntsville have strong real estate markets, but they offer different advantages.

This means that when you sell the property, your adjusted tax basis is lower, which increases the capital gain you must recognize.Additionally, any accelerated depreciation taken is subject to depreciation recapture at a higher tax rate (up to 25% for real estate assets) rather than being taxed as long-term capital gains.So, while cost segregation provides significant upfront tax savings, it also increases your capital gains tax liability upon sale unless you use a 1031 exchange or other tax-deferral strategies.You can find your current tax basis by reviewing your depreciation schedule (Form 4562) and prior years’ tax returns, specifically looking at your adjusted basis on Form 4797 (for sales of business property) or Schedule D (for capital gains and losses).Your CPA should be consulted prior to making any decisions. 

Through my real estate agent.

Regardless of what you do to the important stuff on a home the avg consumer still wants to see granite countertops lol Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
