We play matchmaker, put our clients first in all arenas, and also manage.

Investing in real estate in actually starting, managing, and marketing a company. 

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.

Property management is also in place. 

Not impressed with other large institutional managers who are very light with boots on the ground and in many ways have the attidude they are assisting you in managing the property, not managing it for you.

I started my career with the renovations team renovating the houses we buy, and with the property management company working with our residents and our maintenance teams.

The car/renters/umbrella won't be with Foremost but this way you can have one agent to manage your portfolio.

For example one person could manage paperwork and another person could be boots on the ground.

We manage hundreds of units.

Connect with local agents, and property managers to access off-market deals and get insights on strong rental areas.Good luck!
