:DI'm a brand new, aspiring real estate investor, and I'm super excited about the path that lies ahead!

That is out of the picture since that needs to be set up ahead of time.The only other potential way is through a QOF(Deferral).Best of luck in your search for a CPA.

Just a heads up!

Hi Jack,That's great to have a good road map of the things ahead.

Tenants prefer to have rent raises fully justified to them, well ahead of when they'll be paying the increased rent.3.

With your savings you have some runway, but all sides of real estate cost money to make money, but you are already ahead of or with the curve by renting to travel nurses.

Yes you can look to flip a house or wholesale a deal to get your feet wet and grow, that's all good and you will learn so do go ahead and get started.

I do want the property, but knowing when to listen to people who know more than you is a sure way to get ahead.

Great job thinking ahead and wanting to do the right things for yourself and your child, and being proactive on finding solutions.I’d definitely start talking to more lenders.
