Do not try to qualify as a real estate professional with a w2.

Shu Matsuo has said in his content that you can go, buy a house, and then have someone take care of it while you aren't there.

How would a professional business handle this?

Look carefully at the source of jobs in the area, make sure you understand where the workers are driving.

While I work towards becoming a professional engineer and working with developers, my goal is to own a couple multi-unit properties by the time I’m 30.

Especially since equity is usually fixed and broken down into equal payments, without interest being paid on the balance.Hopefully you had a lawyer involved in this, and be careful what you say or admit now.

At least they’ve given up selling the LLC as asset protection but I don’t think it does much better for privacy from anyone that actually cares to find out. 

I just recommend you choose the house/market carefully to prevent regret in the long term.

It always feels to me like an apartment view when you start with interiors, just my opinion. your house is awesome though and looks like you take great care of it and the guests 

We also looking for highly skilled professionals to add to our team.
